Former model Brooke Shields, 55, needed multiple rods and a metal plate to fix her broken femur.
Shields confessed she thought she was paralyzed because she couldn't feel her toes at the time. The actress said she wasn't sure she'd ever walk again and needed her first surgery to insert two metal rods "one from the top of my hip down, and another across into the hip socket," she told People magazine.More Related News
