Ok hi . One year ago april 7th i was hit by a car i broke my left leg compound fracture of my tibia , i had surgery that week and they placed a rod in my leg with 2 screws top and bottom the problem is one year later i went to see my doc again cause i was having some pain and he ordered a CT scan ? the scan showed that the fracture isnt healed all the way and that callus is holding it together i guess i have alot of callus cause its actually causing ahuge raise/bump to the skin around . Now he wants to take the rod out and put a thicker one in its place to help the bone heal . Anyone had a fracture that didnt heal right away ?
