Thanks for the reply.

The surgeon has said the flexible nails will not be removed.
Jacob has not had any pain since week 3 post surgery and has zero pain/discomfort of any kind when walking. He just says he is having trouble straightening his leg all the way. Physio says his leg length is very slight and would not effect his gait. The bone is now 100% healed (don't have his new x-ray available yet), but images were taken last night and they were shocked at his rate of heeling. So it looks like we just need to get work on the quad lag and he will be well on his way to a complete recovery.

We meet with his surgeon on Tuesday, Dec 13th.
