I was waiting to see if you started your own thread but since you have not, I wanted to contact you.
I broke my hip in a bicycle accident almost 4 years ago.
The fracture was deemed as not displaced and they tried pinning it.
It did not work out and ended up with a replacement.
Having said that here are some details that are important.
My surgery was done about 2 and 1/2 days after the accident (the sooner the better)
I'm much older, I was 61 when I had it done
And this is the most important thing I want to communicate; I was recovering at home with no weight bearing. I think this went on for 6 weeks maybe 8.
I had x rays taken on my post surgery follow up visits and the bones were healing.
They showed me the images and pointed out "evidence of knitting" which is how they refer to bones healing.
But then I started physical therapy.
The exercise were way too aggressive and should have walked out.
On the next visit after the exercises started the x rays showed evidence of "non union" (3rd set of x rays )
An area that had been healing started to go bsd.
I can't help but think that if I had never been referred to physical therapy it may have worked
So do everything you can to make sure that if they refer you to physical therapy the therapists know what they are doing,
Or as the forum advisers always say, walking is the best exercise.
Feel free to contact me (on your own thread)
