The haematoma was probably caused by damage to a blood vessel while your hip was being manipulated to insert the new hardware. Some haematomas do get infected, but usually not a huge problem, since your hip joint itself isn't affected.Yes, the wash out was all in the surgical area, but the hematoma was in my groin and very large he said..this is what came back with MRSA. It was not down to hip bone, thank God. Any idea what would cause a hematoma like that? I also am wondering why I am still hurting in my groin and thigh so..still having trouble walking!
It's very common to feel hip joint pain in your groin, so your pain is probably still post-op pain and it should settle down slowly.
The haematoma was an additional complication that gave your body one more assault to recover from, so make allowances for yourself and give yourself a bit longer to recover.
