I broke tib/ fib on one leg and femur on the other when a car drove over both legs. Nails were put down both the tib and femur and are still there. I spent six weeks in hospital and six months in a lower leg cast because of slow bone regrowth.
I rode a 200km brevet a year after the crash and have finished 6 x PBP and lots of other long brevets since then. The only significant issues have come from nerve damage caused by the crash. The bone issues have been pretty trivial, other than requiring readjusting cleat angle and saddle height.
Don’t be surprised if there is a small leg length difference now. That is fairly easy to compensate for, if you are aware of the possibility.
