Some advice about a broken femur

Okay guys, on june 19 I snapped my femur clear in half at snowflex, I got surgery the next day. They put a metal rod from my hip to just before my knee. I am now doing real good in rehab, I can walk again but still got a limp. The doctor said I can start doing impact sports in another month and a half. My question is that has anyone else had this injury and if so, could you still do jumps with the metal rod in.

If anyone has had experience with a similar injury or the same one, your input would be much appreciated.

Here is the X-Ray

Yikes, that looks gnarly! I don't know the answer to your question though. You should probably play it safe for a while...
