Would it be possible to run/walk with a broken femur?

If someone was in a situation where adrenaline is pumping heavily into their system and they broke their femur, would they be able to run or move a distance before collapsing? Are the leg muscles in the thigh strong enough to support a fracture?

If by running away you mean risking in one step that the shattered bone cuts your artery and you lose all your blood in minutes, and die; yes. But there is a scenario where this doesn’t happen so you just mix your bone fragments making healing far more difficult and maybe condom you to a wheelchair forever. And there’s a scenario where you can actually walk more than three steps maybe, and not damage yourself, but at that point you better go play the lottery the same day cause that’s the luckiest you may ever been.

You said adrenaline so I’m ignoring the pain level which would make you vomit, pass out, or fog your brain enough to try escape the wrong direction.
