While the procedure is expensive, her leg is being repaired with bone plates (metal plates) and those plates will allow her full mobility in her leg. She'll be able to walk and will only be in minimal pain, almost right away after surgery.
In a way it is a blessing in disguise.. if it had been a hairline fracture, she would have been put in a cast and would have had no use of the leg for 6 to 8 weeks and be put on strict bedrest!
She just has to be restricted from running/jumping. So while it is pricey, it is worth it. It was also necessary, her break was a clean straight-through-the-bone break with full dislocation of the bones, it was not a fracture by any means.
Funny thing is.. it happened by her jumping off a chair. That's all it took. She landed on a hard object when she hit the ground and rolled her leg hard.. bam. Broken.
Scary..
