It sounds as if you had a very serious injury.  Unfortunatey, you have described what appears to be a draining sinus tract, which might be a sign of chronic osteomyelitis, a bone infection.  The treatment includes both oral and intravenous antibiotics, and may require further treatment to debride (clean out) the bone.
Hopefully the fracture has, or will, heal. After that, any remaining hardware can be removed and the infection eradicated.
