To remove part of a broken titanium rod or nod ?

[irmrah]

When I was 31 y.o. I had an accident that left me w/ a broken femur ... leading up to days later a “ titanium rod “ being inserted into the broken femur . The initial days , etc. obvious moments of pain happened , over the years since then w/ the break eventually being healed = very ..,... minimal pain . In getting older = 64 y.o. now within the past couple of years thereabouts pain is reaccuring more & more , causing pain also in my hips and other leg . In 03/ 16 tying in w/ this pain = I had an x-ray done and nothing of concern was shown , the next x-ray was last month ; 07/18 & it shows the rod broken , shortly afterwards a bone scan was done to see if there was any sort of fractures that was not visible in the x-ray & it came back w/ nothing abnormal seen  { note : the femur is not broken at all ... solid bone ) !  I can have surgery to remove the broken part of the rod , I am indecisive = has anybody ever had a situation where the rod was broke & the broken part was removed ?  Having a hard time deciding what to do , etc,
