I'm new here, but I had to respond.
I've never broken any bones on my own, however I had been the victim/patient of bi-lateral hip prosthesis. Unpleasant. Having the tops of both thigh-bones replaced with titanium alloy sounds cool, but isn't. I'm the exact opposite of the "6 Million Dollar Man." - - Worse, weaker, slower. Let me tell you, they DON'T have the technology...yet.
The worst part wasn't the surgeries, or the month in the hospital. At least the gave good painkillers. The worst part was a month later, listening to the sounds of the surgery on a television show. OUCH!!!

<edit> Sorry, had to step away for a moment. If any of you think the sound of a dentist's drill is uncomfortable, try listening to the sound of a surgical drill grinding straight down into a thighbone/femur for TEN minutes... and then realizing it's what was happening to your unconcious body, TWICE! :wacko:
