dear sir
1-2 mm gap will get filled up on its own, tibia fractures do take a bit of extra time to recover and consolidate being one of the major weight bearing bone of the body. please do nor worry it mostly heals very well and the joint is strong.
please do take calcium supplements and follow the instruction of your doctor and physio deligently
