Avascular necrosis: With your history it is likely you suffered a post traumatic avascular necrosis at the time you had the injury. What you experience now may be severe arthritis (assumed current age 62), that is typical decades after fractures. Best would to start with an exam with your doc, who can further coordinate tests and referrals as needed.
