Yes, the surgeons re-aligned the femoral neck during surgery and put 3 pins in to hold it together. Hopefully the femoral neck will heal correctly and won’t need replacing.

I’ll have some post-op x-rays to upload sometime soon.

That looks painful. I’ve never had a broken bone (that I’m aware of anyway) but that x-ray makes me cringe with unease. Will your femur ever get straight again? I don’t know much about broken bones.

Damn man, I’m sorry to hear that! I haven’t been by in a while and look what happens when I do, get better! That’s an order!

Your committment to serve our country is humbling and even though you may have to change courses, this level of commitment will lead you and our country to greater ends for freedom. Semper Fi!
