Hello,
The comparison between the x-ray plates of those before surgery and a fresh one has to be done to comment on this issue.
As the tissue is in the recovery phase, there can be seen partial separation which sometimes takes around 2-3 months for complete healing depending upon the individual factors.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
