Not a funny thing that has hapened but My Wife and I have just wet ourselves reading the cause..

Still, titanium screws and plates are marvellous things, so fingers crossed.

Is it genuine Corse Titanium

Femur fracture is nasty ****, gutted for ya fella and really hope ya get out with the rest of the flock soon as.

And I'll bet if you had been riding "a powered velocipede" you would still be in one piece mate....

If I get chance....and can find a parking spot for a LWB Transit.

I'll keep in touch with your bro' for info'

Get well soon Andy-at least you are still around to post this.

My next door neighbour is a fireman-got called to an RTA the other day-55 year old biker on his way to work, hit some ice, went straight under a truck.................not nice.

If you're riding-be safe guys.

Impressive Hardware!

This is precisely what they've done to me to put things right........(tho mine does have 4 lower screws to accommodate my larger arse)

Click image for larger version Name:	Dynamic_hip_screw_2.jpg Views:	130 Size:	7.0 KB ID:	10264

Impressive these physicians.....


Even asked me what colour I'd like it in (red naturally), but unable to confirm the supplied colour match.

God, you can tell the morph's kicked in again.........

Seriously tho, thanks for all the kind words. I'm home now, starting the, hopefully, short road to recovery.

By the way, it's called a Dynamic Hip Screw. Unfortunately, when I asked the missus if she'd like to see my 'Dynamic Hip Screw', she smacked me in the mouth.........which wasn't very nice considering I'm already wounded!

Andy are you sure thats a Dynamic wotsitt....
It looks a bit more like you slipped getting out of the bath and mysteriously lodged your electric toothbrush in an orifice thats normally one way.....
When sex games go wrong !!!!!!, I told John Fawcett about your misfortune, and he agrees with my findings, He says you dont even own a pushbike, but funnily enough you do have an electric toothbrush.
GWS mate, Keep smiling and get a new toothbrsuh.
