I had a cycling crash in 2008 and broke the upper part of my femur - similar to you. They installed a dynamic pin in my case - I found the most difficult thing was restrengthening the area after the op.
They'd had to cut through the various small, strap like muscles at the side of the thigh in order to reset the bone and fix the pin in place.
My advice would be lots of physio and use in the weeks and months after - theres plenty of advice out there. PM if I can help - you'll be fine.
