You already have some consolidation in fibula, shortening at this stage could be very painful, complicated, and it is unnecessary in your case. Try stem cell grafting first. It is shown to work with 5 cm gap. You also need to walk everyday. Your lack of consolidation is likely due to diet and not walking enough.
it will consolidate. give it time

I would immediately get onto doing electro-therapy and really start walking and hitting the pavement. I don't know what you've been doing to recover, but try everything. Get an Exogen 4000+ and on whatever painkillers you can to get walking. Bone growth and recovery doesn't happen unless you have inflammation. You only get inflammation from walking and exercising. Get the fk up and start moving.

dont doctors tell their patients to stop lengthening if no callus has formed, and continue lengthening after some callus has formed?

I don't get why you're quoting me... I don't have any interest in a hyperbaric chamber.
Tallmf,
How old are you?
Who is your doctor?
What method is it?

I was quoting in reference to your .. message.. that oxygen does help in certain cases of nonunion
I’m sorry to hear this man.
I definitely advise emailing/calling several other doctors.
May I ask what nationality and age you are, please?
I wish you the best. Stay strong.
