Non union of femoral bone
I met with an accident in may 2017 in which my right femur bone was broken and patella from sides. Doctor have done TBW OF Patella and inserted rod in my femur bone but after 3 months I got slipped and fall on the ground. My doctor have took some x rays and then he said that everything is okay.. But i feel like my bone is displaced like (non union) type and it is tilting inside and I can feel it and it pains too much. Now my doctor is saying that bone graft is required but I don't want it. ... Can anyone help me?

This is a non union of femur.
You will have to undergo bone grafting for surgery . A exchange nailing with bone grafting would be ideal .
