Hey I think it is great that those drugs are available. However, I am one of the 'few' women who have (they haven't healed in two years) the femur fractures (both legs). My legs have metal rods in them, both of my feet have broken and I'm in constant pain. Let the patient know what can happen and give the patient the choice. I will never be able to work again. These fractures are devastating.
