Post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the hip following fracture may result in severe pain and reduced mobility.
Total hip replacement is an excellent treatment option even in the young patient. These are the x-rays of a 21 year old woman who suffered a left hip fracture 7 years prior as she fell off a skateboard.
She underwent a total hip replacement using a minimally invasive direct anterior approach under the care of Mr Oragui at Grosvenor Orthopaedics. She is now pain free in the hip for the first time in 7 years.
