The surgeon broke it when he was putting in the replacement. Then he didn't put it in his surgical notes and also didn't tell us. We found out a month later when I was having a lot of issues and went to the ER, they did a CT scan and found it. That week after the PA at the surgeons office fessed up that they broke the femur in surgery but it's "no big deal" they didn't plate it or anything, just left it broken and put the replacement in.
