5-794.ae:

You have broken your femur (thighbone) and had an operation on it.

The femur has an upper, middle and lower section. The upper section of the femur is connected to the pelvic bones by the hip joint. The upper section includes the neck and head of the femur plus 2 bony protrusions. The bony protrusions lie between the neck of the femur and its central section. The neck of the femur is set at an angle to the central section. The neck of your femur is broken. The break consists of multiple broken parts.

You had an operation to bring the broken parts of your femur back together and put them into their normal position. A long pin has been used to stabilize the area that is broken.

The purpose of the long pin is to stabilize the bone from the inside. To do this, the pin is inserted into the bone. The long pin is also attached to a big screw. This screw stabilizes other parts of the bone. The pin may also be screwed to the bone at its ends.
