Hey Chuck,
Thanks for the kind words. I was in a crash yesterday, went down very hard on my operated side accelerating out of a corner. There is a good news/bad news issue here. The fracture would have happened regardless of the BHR. The fracture was below the femoral neck near the greater trochanter on the side. What would normally happen in a situation like this is to put a very large
screw all the way up into the femoral head....now the bad or at least challenging news, the BHR stem is in the way so they are going to jury rig it with small screws and a plate. The surgeons had to order the parts from out of stat so I'm laying here in the hospital until surgery can be performed late Monday or Tuesday. Post surgery I'll have no weight bearing 6-12 weeks because this isn't a surgery that's normally done. The surgeon will have a better idea of the length of no weight bearing after he gets in there and gets a feel for the procedure. I'll get through this. Good
case for the sturdiness of the BHR. I'll keep you all updated.
ps: also had 10 stiches in my arm.
best,
spencer
