Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, normally the callus formed to unite the fracture caused some swelling on palpation, but looking at the duration of your surgery, its must to see if there is any loosening of screws or any infection, which can be cleared by and X Ray. get one done and clear your doubts
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
