I had my second hip done on weds and they broke my femur, luckily surgeon was able to repair it during operation. Yes it does give me more pain than the first one!
They habe told me to use crutches for 6 weeks then it should be fine.
Hopefully if they can fix yours you should be about the same, they are very good at fixing bones these days.
Good luck with your operation. Sending you a hug.

I am so sorry this has happened to you. I hope that they can sort you out. Make sure you write down any questions you want to ask before you meet your consultant. That will help with some of the bordom. Make sure when you talk to your consultant you make it very clear you want to know why this has happened. You do have a legal right to see your notes so you could even ask while you are there to see them so you can make sure they tell you the truth and not try to hide any mistakes on there part.

we will never know what goes on in theatre UNTIL THEY INSTALL CCTV. Surgeons can get away with......... your situation is unthinkable. How absolutely helpless you must feel. with all those complications growing exponentially. Get after him to and get sfriend/family to obtain copy of your notes
