Brief Answer:
could be non union
Detailed Answer:
Hi , I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
In view of your surgery being 9 months old and are still having pain, with no x rays attached, I could think only in terms of non union of the fracture . In this picture , if the pain is caused by non union then re surgery is recommended. but if the cause of pain is something else , then the treatment would depend on the cause.
If possible pl attach the x rays.
Thanx for the question.
