How To Treat Dislocation In Hip Followed By Hip Replacement?

Hi I just had total hip replacement on the left side one week ago. Today I moved my leg outward and it felt as if I may have dislocated it. I am so worried because I was healing so well in terms of pain. I can still walk and it is not very painful. It just feels stiff again like it did when I was released from the hospital. Would I be able to walk on that leg at all on that leg and would it have caused my stitches to open if it were dislocated? I have a follow up in one week but I will worry the entire time if I don t ask this question. Thank you.

Hello,

I have studied your case.

You may need investigation like X ray and MRI.
Ultrasound of hip and arthrography in dynamic mode will help to know pattern of recurrent hip dislocation.
You should take step for permanent solution of problem.
Proper immobilisation and later on rehabilitation is important post surgery.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
