I have been in your boat, with my left trochanter broken into 4 pieces. The surgeon screwed the parts back together (no artificial joint).

By the time I could get onto a bike, the muscles on my left side were quite weak. But I didn't do anything in particular to get back my leg strength. I just rode a lot.

The strength came back just fine. Other than some reduced range of motion (which has never returned), I would never know there was a difference between legs.
