Dear patient
what is your present complaint? are you having pain in femur or not able to walk? Your surgery was don't before 3 years so you should be fine by now. If there is pain and difficulty in walking there might be problem with union of femur bone or implant related issues. I would like to advise xray of involved femur anteroposterior and lateral views to confirm diagnosis. Please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. If xray is abnormal please consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area.
