Your fracture should have healed in a matter of weeks and then return to normal strength after. You should have no problems now apart from the nerve damage. I think you mean an Osteotomy where a small section of bone is removed for testing. If you tell them you had problems the first time (if they don't already know from your notes) then they will be more careful. This sort of testing is often done due to an abnormality in the bone seen on x-ray. It's often done to test the abnormality to see if it's cancerous. Or it's used for arthritis where your legs become bowed and it is use to make them mire anatomically straight.
You didn't say what's wrong with your other leg that you need it done or if you had another x-ray.

Bone heals within 3 months pain is different
Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.
Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.
The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).
For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

I'm guessing you are talking about an osteotomy. I had a derotational osteotomy of the tibia and fibula on my right leg. my fibula has a big cut gap and doesn't connect top to bottom fromwhere they had to cut it. You don't need your fibula. I'm guessing that the fractures are way healed. I get them all the time in my tibias and they heal, they hurt like hell. I would like to know what lead to your surgery? I wouldn't know if it is wise to do the other one cause I don't know why you need it. My motto-IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE PAIN ANYMORE DO THE SURGERY AND NOT BEFORE

BTW its hairline NOT airline. That means the fracture is very minor and its not serious enough to cause the tibia to be broken into pieces. And ten years ago if it had not healed, your child who should be 10 and walking by now would be old enough to help you walk.. at least.

If you drink things like milk it can help the healing process, but it wont do any good if youre rough on your leg. By playin basketball, running, or jumpin on it too much.
