this is the Iliarov procedure, and it's been around for years and years. it's used also unilaterally in people with one leg shorter than the other, from whatever reason.

it's as painful as it sounds, and the person is more prone to bone fractures later on in life (even after the bone has healed, years later) because the new bone i'sn't as strong as before it was broken.

oh, and those XRs are of the tibia, not the femur like the article mentioned.
