X-rays of a Hip Fracture

Here are the two most recent x-rays of my left hip. The first shows the four screws. The fracture is barely visible, if at all. The second x-ray shows the small "chip" that wasn't fastened with a pin. The red arrows points toward the "chip."

CORRECTION:

We saw the doctor on Wednesday November 24 and he corrected us. The red arrow does not point to the "chip." The yellow arrow does. It is hard to see it. It is in the yellow circle. It is shallow (about 14 inch thick) and long (about 1 to 1-12 inches long). It has healed up OK but not perfectly.
