My tibia and fibula broked by accident. I had surgery 11 week ago. Now I'm walking with some weight on ankle. As doctor described me. Now I'm feeling my leg is little short than my other leg. It will be 5mm or 10 mm short. My leg is not fully healed. It has some gap  you can see xrey. I want to know is this possible to measure my legs? And how equal my leg? Please help me suggests me how it possible?

You can measure your legs clinically. There are less chances that the leg will increase in length, rather it will further shorten if the nail is fixed in dynamic mode proximally. You might have to use a show raise to get both legs equal.
Next Steps
Share x-rays of whole leg.
