    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Not what I planned for 2020... broken hip and hip pinning surgery

    Thanks guys... I will definitely take it easy and not let them push me. I won’t be walking on that leg until my 3 months is up. I’m envisioning it being more of a consult to see how they plan to move forward, but I will take it easy. Thank you for the reminders.

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Broke head of Femur in January 2020

    I was fully able bodied prior to my accident and surgery. I am only not walking because of the doctor recommendation to not weight bear for 3 months. I’ve seen the doctor just once each month since the surgery. So, it doesn’t sound too different than you. It does leave you with a lot of time...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Post Dynamic Hip Screw

    Hello again... sorry to hear about your osteoporosis diagnosis. I have a Dexa scan setup in a couple months to see if I have a similar issue. I'm not expecting that I have an issue, but I'm also surprised that I fractured my hip. I had a follow up appointment last week and things are...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Broke head of Femur in January 2020

    @Mandie4711 - I had my pinning surgery just a few days before you, so we're about the same point in recovery. I wasn't sure if you are weight bearing on your leg or not yet, but I am not. At this point I don't have a lot of pain most of the time, but I do get pains in different places at...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Not what I planned for 2020... broken hip and hip pinning surgery

    @Layla Thank you! On one hand it's hard to believe it's been two months already, but on the other hand it seems like it was so long ago. I've been meaning to jump on and post an update. I saw my PA last week and got a new set of x-rays. Thankfully it was all good news. The pictures showed...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Post Dynamic Hip Screw

    Hello @Hobbling Along... I also fell on the ice and I had a non-displaced femoral neck fracture fixed with a DHS about 7 weeks ago. I’ve been non weight bearing since the surgery. My surgeon recommend 3 months non weight bearing post surgery. I actually fell and had surgery away from home...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning Not what I planned for 2020... broken hip and hip pinning surgery

    Hello everyone... I found this site a few weeks ago and have been meaning to post. I wasn’t sure what to write, so I hope this doesn’t end up being too long. Unfortunately, on the evening of 12/29, I took a hard fall on some ice while walking in a parking lot and fractured my left hip and...

    Fractured Neck of Femur/Pinning 3 weeks after pinning and I'm scared

    Hi @zippa1913, I hope your recovery has gone well and the repair remains successful. I’m also a 38 year old fit male who just broke his hip about 3 weeks ago... looks like just about one year after you. I had hip pinning surgery on 12/30/19. I’m hoping that you may still be following this...
