My bone guy (this was 10 years ago) was strictly against it. I wanted it cuz I heard you'd be back on the bike quicker and I was into that.

He showed me some infection stuff, some reject stuff and convinced me to let nature take it's course. I've got an ugly lump where the bone crosses itself but that join is tough! Next time I crashed that side it broke out at the process.

I have no idea what's new in ortho and I haven't slept in a Holiday Inn Express either.

Good Luck with your healing.
