I have done about 8.5 cm and now I'm 10 months post op. I will take x-ray soon , so IF my doctor say that I might have 6 month of consolidation left ,will it be possible for me to get nailing ? I'm scared that my bones will shrink too if i take the frames off too soon, and I don't want to be in frames for 18 months. But if it is not possible I will wait.
