Thanks Jim,Oh no!! That looks like a nasty break! Wishing you a full, speedy recovery.
My orthopedist told me it was actually easy to fix, cranked it back into anatomic position with a cable and then fixed it with a plate, screws, and cables. I have had weight bearing as tolerated since my discharge the day after surgery. Hardest part was all the swelling due to trauma and blood loss from the injury. My leg looked like an elephant leg until just a few days ago. I would never have been able to come directly home if it was not for my wonderful wife

I'm grateful it was my femur and not my head, neck, or back, the outcome might have been very different.
