I shattered my leg too. I had a tibial plateau fracture. Bone was split down the middle and some areas were shattered in little pieces. Pain was unreal. I actually had to have an anesthesiologist because the morphine and dilaudid dosages were so high. My ROM 6 months out was about 10 degrees. I still can't fully straighten my leg. ROM isn't normal but I can ride a bike. I have arthritis now too so it is pretty messed up. Biking has been great.

I would go with the shortest crank arms you can find. A 160mm might be okay for someone with a 32 inch inseam and the ROM you mention. Maybe you can go to a bike shop and try out a small woman's bike. They will come standard with a 165mm. Jack the seat up and see if you can get your leg around or at least close. That should give you an idea if it will be doable before you spend any money. It won't cost thousands. A new crankset can be pretty inexpensive. Less than $100 if you go for a lower end one. $300 for a high end crankset.

Here is a 155mm for $95.
