Is the LON Intramedullary Nail Weightbearing?

Edit Post

I was wondering if it's weight-bearing. I'm only 50 kilo

I have delayed union on right leg, But I'm worried the nail will break if i walk, is it better to use a cane/elow crutch on my left hand to take off the load from right leg or can i walk weightbearing fully given the fact i'm literally 50 kgs.

it won't break, right?
