Femur rod removal and growth spurt

Femur rod removal and growth spurt

My son had two rods inserted in his femur during a complicated femur fracture repair two years ago.  He is now 12 and other than rare and fleeting discomfort, he has had no problems.  He walks normally, rides a bike, etc.  Will leaving the rods in place impact growth of his femur?  He has not yet had his adolescent growth spurt.
