Fractured hip following replacement surgery

I was told that one percent of hip replacements end this way.
I too researched for about 2 1/2 years knowing I needed a hip replacement, but wasn’t willing to just dive into it. I read reviews. I got word of mouth recommendations, the surgeon following the second surgery, which he should’ve never done. I should’ve been sent up North to a trauma surgeon Treated me terribly accused me of falling, which I did not. I have a security system around my home and there was no fall. I got out of the car and it broke. It’s surely been a horrible ordeal and destroyed my life, my husband and only child since this happened has both passed away they were my support & advocates. I am seeing my trauma surgeon tomorrow to talk about what the next step is. I just had five level fusion in my neck February 13 and I’m not Kean on another surgery. I feel like all of these surgeries have taken so much out of me I’ve not been able to recover between them. I guess I’m just venting. Thanks for your comment. I too am in need of a right hip replacement, but I just can’t even imagine going through that terror again.
