Hello..
i see based on your Xray you have under Tibia intramedullary nailing for fracture tibia..
the reduction is very good.
Yes the fracture is heeling.. in 8weeks you won’t be able to tell exactly… but there is callus( soft bone formation) for a normal lay-person to understand the difference you need to see post 6months of surgery
You can notice the small cracks in the end of the bone vanished in the later Xray you have taken. Proof for callus..
that is if you can make that out.
Next Steps
Follow proper physiotherapy as advised by your doctor.
Health Tips
Don’t worry too much.. just follow precautions as advised
