There's microscopic motion that occurs which makes the regenerate form wider than the original bone. That's considered beneficial, though. What you don't want is regenerate that is hourglass shaped where it gets thinner in the middle.

Could you link to the picture?  I've seen that on femur patients and I assume it's normal for that bone, but I've never seen it on the tibia.  It didn't happen to me.  My regenerate is the same thickness as the original bone.

but if the tibia is so thick that even approach the fibula could the lower leg be stiff to move?
