I broke my femur in 2017. Because the break was in the shaft, not the head, no hip replacement was required. Had the break been on the head of my femur, they'd have gone straight to hip replacement, because (as I recall them telling me) the blood supply to the joint would likely have been compromised. (Think Bo Jackson.)
