I fractured myself 7 weeks post up but not the normal femoral neck fracture. I managed to crush the head of the femur under the cap by tripping. I am on the mend now but it is a very rare fracture as according to Mr McMinn if i recover I will be the first he has known of in the Uk and he only knew of two other people in the world who had recovered from that kind of crush fracture. apparently the fracture would usually cause the femoral head to crumble in the first three months.
I am 6 months post fracture.

Tripping off of what, a cliff??   I don't understand how you can fracture after 6 months pre op from trip..  Can you give us more information?  How athletic are you, age, experienced doctor, etc??
I tripped 7 weeks post op whilst helping in the dining room at work. I didn't fall but stamped my foot down hard to stop myself falling I was walking at speed. The impact caused the cap to crush the bone beneath which obviously had not hardened enough. I am a big bloke and in the catering industry we have to shift a bit to get people served. I am 45 years old. I was working as if I had never had anything done but that is what my family do. Too much too soon.

If you read my post I am 6 months post fracture now, not 6 months post Op.

"I fractured myself 7 weeks post up "  Ok for some reason I thought you were talking about 6 months.. One of those late nights for me I guess.. thanks.
