Honestly I'm not sure, I've seen worse but if it was like that on both sides I would be worried.

What I am worried about is the bottom.
I heard from Dr. Paley somewhere that using all three screws on the bottom is bad and can cause complications. Don't remember where though.

thanks man, i am only concered about the left photo that only has a thin lining just next to the screws in that particular angle. the leg isnt exactly straight but still it looks that area is thin and prone to fracture/delayed union?

are there any xrays like this on the forum?

Check oyg's diary. His nails were also on the larger side with thin bone left on the sides.

Betz and Guichet routinely insert extremely large nails.

Can you also post lateral views of x-rays?
