Hi. I work as a police officer in New Zealand and we constantly have to wear a stab proof vest that weighs approximately 6kg everyday during active duty. Also we sometimes have to insert ballistic plates in the vest that press a but in the chest and weigh an extra 10kg. My concern is if I get implants and do the recommended 6 to 8 week light duty after would I still be at risk of hurting or rupturing the implants once i start wearing the vest everyday again when I go back to active duty.
