Femur ostheosynthesis question

4523904?1243967308
I am a 25 yr old male and was in a traffic accident where my femur bone was broken in 2 places. It is broken somewhere around the middle (thats why a rod is visible in the pictures) and near the neck. The accident happened march 6th, and i had surgery the next day.

The fracture around the middle of the bone is healing nicely; I would like to hear your comments about the fracture on the pictures, by the femural neck. I would appreciate your opinion about healing and the positioning of bone fragments.

For the first 5 weeks or so i didnt put any weight on the leg, then just a little, and i started putting more weight while using crutches around may 10th.

The attached photo is pre-op, this one http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/8392/femur0307.jpg is right after the surgery, and this one http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/8327/femur0510.jpg is 8 weeks after surgery.

Thank you
