Wait... that's good, right? Please tell me that's good. Please?

Well, it is?

It probably means it's just a hairline crack in the femur. The bone didn't actually break or fracture so much as a small crack that will heal on it's own with not much more treatment than just staying off the leg. The kind of injury that, if it had happened earlier in the season, would have made it so we might have seen him come back in the same year. It's a very good thing.

The alternative would be a major crack in the femur, which would require inserting metal rods into the femur to hold it together for a couple of months to make sure it heals correctly and in place. (possibly leaving one/some in there forever). Thats a much longer recovery and could possibly affect his gait for the rest of his life, depending on the severity and success of the surgery/recovery.

A "small fracture" that doesn't require surgery sounds like the former. Which was pretty evident to me on Monday night seeing as he went back in and carried the ball for 9 and 5 yards after the injury and didn't look to be in much pain at all on the sideline. If that bone "broke" he wouldn't have been able to go back in the game nor would he have been able to stand on the sideline for the rest of the game.

Theres a big difference between a hip and a femur.

Ya, except for the fact that there isn't. The ball of the femur fits into the pelvis and that makes up the hip. The femur isn't only the hip, but it is the hip. A hip fracture is a fractured femur. Not all fractured femurs are hip fractures, but all hip fractures, by definition, involves the hip joint, which is the femur.

P.S. PWNT in two different threads in a matter of minutes. Stop posting.

Two busted knees, many sprained ankles, and now a busted hip.

Dude is gonna be in some serious pain when he gets old.

Yeah, dude is gonna have problems walking by age 35. :(

Poor Gore, he's now in the twilight of his career (with those injuries + pushing 30), if Dixon continues to produce/mature Gore could be traded under the new management/coaching regime.

Hopefully we trade him to the Pats so he can have a legit shot at a SB ring (they'll need a quality veteran RB next season, and they're loaded with draft pics to just 'throw' at teams with).

I wanted the niners to trade him off season but now with a busted him aint no way any team is gonna offer anything more then a 5th round pick. I would just keep him and let him share carries with a new RB.

Frank Gore is the most productive RB in 49ers history. through all these years of terrible offense, Gore has been pro-bowl caliber and as consistent as they come.

you dont trade guys like Frank Gore. he should be a Niner his whole career. with the news that he wont require surgery and should be 100% healthy well before the start of next season, i hope he comes back strong and keeps on dominating for years to come.

honestly, whens the last time a team got anything worth what they gave up? Champ Bailey for Clinton Portis trades hardly ever happen. You end up giving someone premier talent for a 4th round pick.

The head and neck of the femur to be exact

MaioccoCSN 49ers RB Frank Gore (fracture right hip) says he'll be running in eight weeks. He should be able to participate in entire offseason work.
