What if Femur Fracture become Nonunion

(F,47) I fractured my left femur 10 months ago. doctors have done plate fixation with bone grafting because nail was not going inside my bone due to osteoporosis(as doctor said). Now after 10 months doctor said that it is non union. So I consult two more doctors. One doctor said they have to do remove the plate and re operate with nail or plate fixation and bone grafting and One doctor said that there is less chance of bone joining even after refixation. So they suggested Total Hip Replacement. I am very confused what should I do. Please see my xray and suggest me what is best. One xray is latest. One is when I fall. Thankyou
