JazakAllah ✨

Wa Alaikum Salam
In my opinion Radiographic union is achieved, but you should start full weight bearing after consultation and clinical examination by ur Treating surgeon

My surgeon still recommended me for maximum 70% weight bearing with the help of walker.
Unke according mai abhi full weight bearing nh krskta kehrhe hain krni bhi hai tou stick ki help se 3 to 4 steps krskte ho ghar mai hi but mai second opinion chahrha hun kiun ke mjhe ye darr hai ke muscles itne weak na hojayein ke jb wo permission dein phir chla na jaye ya limb aajaye.

an orthopaedic Doctor can comment on Xray better....however being Prosthetist and Orthotist incase fracture is not healed well i will advise you to make an Ischial Weight bearing KAFO device....as it will offload your weight and you can walk better and also your lower limb will be aligned better. Otherwise contracture may be formed at Hip and knee level
