I'm sorry to hear about your injury and the issues you're experiencing with your leg. Based on your description and the X-ray you've provided, it appears that you have a fracture of the tibia and fibula bones, and that you underwent surgery for the open fracture. It's important to follow up with your orthopedic surgeon to address the bending of your leg and determine the best course of action.
It's possible that the bending of your leg could be due to a weak implant or a longer fibula, but it's difficult to say without a physical examination and further imaging studies. Your surgeon may recommend a CT scan or other imaging tests to get a better view of your leg.
Regarding your question about fibula union, it is true that if the fibula bone heals first, it may prevent the tibia from healing properly. However, your X-ray does not indicate that this is currently an issue.
In terms of next steps, your surgeon may recommend further surgical intervention such as an osteotomy (bone cutting and reshaping) or implant revision to address the bending of your leg. It's important to discuss all available options with your surgeon and carefully weigh the potential risks and benefits of each.
As for when you can start exercising again, that will depend on the specifics of your injury and surgery, as well as your overall healing progress. It's important to follow your surgeon's recommendations and not rush into any activities that may exacerbate your injury or delay your recovery.
