It’s intra-medullary nail. Intramammary would be something very different!
Very sorry to hear about your injury. It will feel really worrying at the moment but you will cycle again. May require more surgery but you will get there. It won’t feel like it, but you have been lucky - tib fib fractures can be really, really bad.
Physio is the key, but it is definitely worth getting a second opinion from another surgeon. In general, more surgery should be the absolutely last resort.
I’m a doctor but not orthopaedic or sports medicine. Let me know or DM if i can help at all.
