Brief Answer:
The ball is in its perfect place.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached X-rays. After the surgery the head of femur is now in the proper place. The ball is now just near its socket. The surgery done is correct. This will gradually heal and take shape. The healing is going well. There is no need to worry. After the second hip is also corrected then he will be able to walk normally. Please do not worry and go ahead with the next surgery.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
