Brief Answer:
Second operation may be needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.

I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar,

After going through your query and attached x-ray picture it seems to me that fracture is going into delayed union.I concluded that it is time to do second operation as 30weeks already passed. Personally I will like to do open bone grafting operation. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.

Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Wishing you good health.
Take care.
