What's a Femur?
And, ewww! I hate things getting removed.
You won the most disgusting reward, Outlaw.

I'm not a squeamish person myself, but the though of bone surgery always makes me cringe.

Soo the Femur is the bone that is in the front of your leg? The one that hurts a lot when someone kicks it?

No... the femur is the bone in your thigh, longest and aparently strongest bone in the body (though the tibia, which is the larger of the lower leg bones is the one that bears the most weight... and is also known as the shin bone, which is the one that hurts when you get kicked)
Here is a skeletal leg from the front: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Illu_lower_extremity.jpg
Being kicked in the shin though is still not bone pain... it just hurts a lot because there isn't much flesh over the shin to cushion the impact, the amount of pain you would get if someone stuck a needle through the bone will be a ridiculous magnetude more than a hard kick in the shin (many people would pass out from the pain without anaesthesia), and having cancerous tissue dug out of the bone is I expect an unimaginable amount of pain. Not sure if it's possible to die from too much pain but if it is I think that would do it. Obviously that kind of surgery would not be done without putting someone under, but it still makes me cringe.
