Do you know how serious his was? Obviously it takes a lot of force to break a femur, but I have read that the greater number of breaks / parts the more serious the injury. At the bottom of the scale is a single break into 2 pieces, I appear to have the 2 ends plus at least 8 fragments which all have to hopefully grow together, providing they still have sufficient blood supply.


I don’t know how serious his was but he broke his hip and pelvis at the same time. Thats why 20 years later he had to get a titanium hip.
