I am sorry you are going through all this.  First, if your Slip and Fall was caused by negligence, the at-fault person/business will be responsible for complications from your treatment, even if the complication was from malpractice (assuming it is a business, or residence with insurance coverage). Making the malpractice part of your negligence case can be a much easier route then bringing a malpractice claim, since they are very hard to prove. This would need to be determined by a lawyer with much more detail on the facts.   Next, it is hard to say if you have a medical malpractice case without much more information. Cemented hip replacement procedures are very common, particularly with elderly and less active patients. One use of cementing is to attach the prosthetic to your healthy bone  and typically has very good results; but certainly there can be poor technique and other facts causing it to fail.   For a qualified lawyer to even begin to comment on malpractice, you really need to meet with him/her and go over all the details. The lawyer will likely want you to bring in as much of the medical records as possible, regarding the surgery. If you have not seen a lawyer for the slip and fall aspect and you feel there was negligence causing the fall, that should be discussed as well. Good luck.   This reply should NOT be considered a legal opinion of your case / inquiry. At this time I do not have sufficient factual/legal documentation to give a complete answer to your question and  there may be more to the issues you raised then I have set out in my brief reply
