It depends on the repair of the injury and the metal alloy used. I have a friend that had a repair of his upper leg. When traveling (Domestic or international) he carries a certificate and a wallet size x-ray provided by his doctor. I have traveled with him many times with no problems.
My wife has a plate in her upper left arm from a nasty break. It was repaired using ceramic plates. She carries no medical papers and we have been traveling international and domestic with not one question.
Your doctor can advise what/if anything is needed.
