What you have is a complication of fracture of the upper end of the thigh bone. The blood supply to head of femur (upper end) is affected and as a result you have AVN of the hip. For an active person like you, the best option would be a Delta Motion Ceramic on ceramic hip replacement. This will give unrestricted mobility and will last long.
