My own opinion... for whatever that's worth... is that the 3cms lost had nothing to do with the doctors who treated him but due to the accident itself and what was left of that leg after the accident.. Sounds like they did the best they could with what they had to work with... He's damn lucky he didn't lose the leg and maybe his life... Move on Mate... You're darn lucky to be alive and you only lost 3cm in a leg... Tuff break ... Bad luck? Stuff happens....
