Distal femur comminuted fractures are always tricky to fix. In your case though not fixed anatomically, we should still wait for atleast 9 months with physiotherapy and try to get full movements as possible. Even if fracture gets united in the present position it can be accepted. Though fixation is not proper, it is what it is. Acceptance with full efforts for physiotherapy needs to be made.
