Can Muscle Detachment After A Total Hip Replacement That Leads To A Bad Limp Be Treated And Cured Completely?
After a total hip replacement a muscle has detached from bone leaving me with a bad limp that is affecting my leg and foot because of the way I am limping. I have had physical therapy with little help I am concerned this is the way I will always walk.
You should discuss with your doctor for a physical exam. If there is a detached muscle, you may need another surgery to repair it. You should discuss with your doctor on this issue.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
