Complete Bridge of Bone Growth

I went to my 16 week appointment yesterday. I had a complete bridge of bone growth which means that my leg is on the road to recovery since new bone growth kind of makes a bridge and encloses where the break is. It is still broken because the crack has not been filled in yet. But, now he said I have what they call progressive bone healing. The crack should fill in the next 3 months.

He still wants me to use a cane for the next 3 months and use my crutches as needed to help deal with pain. I go back to see him in 3 months. Good News, Since I had not had a lot healing before.

Before: Right after it was fixed from being broken

Now with the bridge of bone growth and some of the Doctor's notes. You can still see the crack but it will fill in.
This is a better angle seeing the bridge of bone growth.
So 3 more months and I should be free of crutches and canes. Hopefully :)
