I am a 23 year old male. I met with a road accident on late of January and fractured my Femur Bone. Oblique Fracture. And had a vascular injury as well because of age accident. It's been complete 4 months but my xray are not showing any improvement. What should I do. I was treated with plates and nail for the support of my femur.

If the fracture is well fixed then it should unite in about 3-6 months in your age. Cause of delayed union may be compound injury, or vascular injury. I advise to wait 2 more months if your fracture is well fixed. After that also xray don't show union signs, then second surgery may be required.
