I had an operation on my wrist last October due to a broken wrist. I have had a metal plate put into it. Yesterday I had it opened up again and had to have one of the screws changed for a shorter one. Before I left the hospital yesterday I was given a physio appointment for Friday 4th May but I wont be having my stitches out by then, is that possible, surely I cant have physio before removal of my stitches.

Sure you can! I had the same type injury/surgery in late January. I started therapy 4 days later, 3 days a week. The casting was removed and a temporary splint put on. The tape covering the stitches kept them in place so they weren't compromised. The sooner you start the better. Good luck. I will likely be having surgery to remove my plate later this year.
