If the nail fails

Here's a great video (in French) about how hip replacement has advanced. About halfway into it, it gets a bit graphic, so be warned.



As I've mentioned my fear is AVN, the head of the femur not getting enough blood and then failing. If it fails, it requires a hip replacement. What I've read is that they'll typically do a 'half' replacement of just the head. This video shows a full replacement on a hockey player. Very high tech.
