Dear, sometimes the bones at fracture site are unable to form good new bone. In this case your nail broke due to continuous micro movement at the fracture site. Your doctor did the right thing to revise the fracture, freshen the edges and put in a healthy bone graft from the pelvis. Pelvis bone has more healing potential than femur. Send me a picture of your xrays so that I can give a better opinion.
