Hip detachment occurs when the hip joint is out of place and, although not a very common problem, it is considered a serious situation, requiring urgent medical attention as it causes severe pain and makes movement impossible.
Discontent can occur when the person falls during a football match, is crushed or suffers a car accident, for example. In all situations, it is not recommended to try to put the leg back in place, as an evaluation by a health care professional is necessary.
The main symptoms of hip placement are
If there is a suspected home, an ambulance should be called by calling UAS 192 or firefighters calling 911 in case of incarceration. The person must be transported lying on a stretcher because she cannot bear the weight of the leg and cannot sit.
Even if the ambulance does not arrive, if possible, an ice pack can be placed directly on the hip so that the cold numbs the area, thus reducing pain.
Here’s what to do if your hip drops
Treatment is usually done by surgery to reposition the leg bone in the groove of the hip bone, as it is a change that produces so much pain that it is not advisable to try the procedure with the person awake.
The procedure of adjusting the leg to hip bone should be performed by the orthopedist and the ability to move the leg freely in all directions indicates that the fit was perfect, but it is always important to perform another x-ray or scan. that may indicate that the bones are placed correctly.
If there is a change, such as a bone fragment in the joint, your doctor may perform an arthroscopy to remove it, which will require you to stay in the hospital for about 1 week. In the postoperative period, the orthopedist may indicate the use of crutches so that the person does not place the body weight directly on this newly operated joint so that the tissues can heal as quickly as possible.
Physical therapy is indicated from the first day of postoperative and initially consists of performing movements performed by the physiotherapist to maintain the mobility of the legs, avoid scar tissues and promote the production of synovial fluid, fundamental for the movement of this joint. Stretching exercises as well as isometric contraction of muscles are also indicated, where there is no need for movement.
When the orthopedist indicates that crutches are no longer needed, physiotherapy may intensify taking into account the limitations of the person.
