Honestly, even in the west not everyone make a full recovery after a complicated femur fracture. One of my mates  ended up with multiple fractures of his femur after a bad landing . Once healed they broke his bone and stretched his leg millimetre by millimetre over 3 months he had to spend in bed. But it worked.

So botched he has no leg? Bone crush injury  can be fatal . He lives to complain?

Spent months in Hospital this year alone.

Speaking with friends back home that work in hospitals, my medical care was much better here.
