Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
It depends on size of the defect and instability but if there is a hole in femur where no bone is healed,then bone transplant form pelvis should be considered or repeated osteosynthesis with plates and screws this time, and rmoving intramedullary nail.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
