I've had my right clavical pinned and plated last Nov., after a bike crash in late Aug. This was that side's second break, and it wasn't healing, so we opted for the surgery. No real discomfort, but I feel the 9 screws and the plate under the skin, but have no plans for removal at this time.
My right elbow, which was shattered in another bike crash in 2005, also has 9 ti screws and a plate which has caused severe discomfort since then, and is being removed in June. Hurray! The doctors were reluctant to do this, but my whining convinced them.
