Detached muscle after THR

i had a THR 5 years ago, during which my femur fractured. Six months later the femur shattered and had to be completely replaced with titanium. I did fairly well with extensive therapy, but then my hip began giving me a lot of trouble. After many x-rays and scans, it was determined that I had a detached muscle. Then my knee began buckling and i was put in a brace to stabilize it. Now I have an acquired club foot which I am having surgery to correct that was caused by apparent nerve damage caused by the femur replacement or the hip replacement. Any ideas on how well this situation might turn out?
