Didn’t think of limb lengthening

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 11 hours ago

That's not what this is. That hardware is to set a bone, and those bone lengthy rigs are more complex.

Most likely scenario is either the bone was shattered enough that repair wasn't possible, or it was used for a bone graft. The fibula is a common bone that's used because it's not very load bearing.
