This is excellent what your surgeon has done. These are the nasty fractures which need minimal fixation.the fracture is badly comminuted there is very little change in the fracture pattern and plate after 2 months. Please wait and not to put any weight on this foot and do walk non weight bearing as a fracture. If you have refixation you will end up in probably more disaster. It is only the x-ray views which is deceiving you.
