I can't give you any details about my age, but I'm over 30.
However, age is not the cause in this delayed union.
In my right leg surgery, it took about four months to consolidate.

The cause of the delayed union of the left leg is not clear.
It may be poor quality osteotomy technique or loose screws etc.

Could it be environmental factors that caused problems to your left leg to consolidate?

(1)As for my reason for right leg surgery : I'll send you pm within a few days.
(2)Meaning for lengthening the second leg, you used only the consolidated left leg + crutches to move around? : Yes, that's right
(3)I do not recommend this approach. My long life on crutches was awful and I became depressed.

Thanks Maison! You're very helpful to us all!

I hope you are doing well now after the 1 year + of difficulties?

No.  I think it was an improper surgical procedure that caused the problem with the left leg. 
I can't tell you the details because it's on trial.
