Hmm. I don't know that I'd do anything at the moment; I'd be extremely reluctant to put him through all that. TK had a pin in a shattered femur, and I wouldn't do that again. Tripodding him is always a possibility, as is removing the ball of his femur so he can make a false joint. If he's doing that well, despite all, I think I'd leave him alone.
