Hip Socket Injury Treatment in Turkey
About Hip Socket Injury
Key Highlights
-
Restores the anatomical alignment and stability of the hip joint.Prevents or delays the onset of post-traumatic osteoarthritis.Enables early mobilization to reduce risks of blood clots and stiffness.Preserves long-term hip function and mobility.Utilizes advanced surgical techniques and imaging for precise fracture fixation.
Who is this surgery for?
- Displaced acetabular fracture disrupting the joint surface.
- Fracture with hip joint instability or dislocation.
- Intra-articular fragments (loose pieces) within the joint space.
- Associated injuries like femoral head fracture or sciatic nerve injury.
- Failure of non-surgical management to maintain acceptable alignment.
- Fractures in active, younger patients where joint preservation is a priority.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive imaging including X-rays and CT scans to map the fracture.
- Medical evaluation to optimize health for surgery (cardiac, pulmonary).
- Management of other injuries, as these often result from high-energy trauma.
- Pre-operative blood tests and possible blood donation for autologous transfusion.
- Discussion of anesthesia options and post-operative pain management plan.
- Pre-operative physiotherapy education for crutch/walker use and breathing exercises.
Risks & possible complications
- Infection at the surgical site.
- Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism).
- Injury to nearby nerves (e.g., sciatic nerve) or blood vessels.
- Heterotopic ossification (abnormal bone growth in soft tissues).
- Avascular necrosis (bone death) of the femoral head.
- Post-traumatic arthritis of the hip joint.
- Hardware irritation or failure requiring further surgery.
- Leg length discrepancy or persistent stiffness.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial hospital stay for pain control, monitoring, and starting physical therapy.
- Strict non-weight-bearing on the affected leg for 6-12 weeks, using crutches or a walker.
- Progressive physical therapy to regain range of motion, strength, and gait.
- Regular follow-up X-rays to monitor fracture healing and implant position.
- Gradual return to weight-bearing as guided by the surgeon, typically over 3-4 months.
- Long-term lifestyle modifications and possible activity limitations to protect the joint.
-
Typical hospital stay:
5-10 days

Vivaan Davis, a 28-year-old high school...
Vivaan Davis, a 28-year-old high school physical education teacher and weekend soccer player, suffered a traumatic hip dislocation and acetabular (socket) fracture during a competitive match. He felt a sickening pop and immediate, excruciating pain. In the ER, X-rays and a CT scan confirmed a complex posterior wall fracture of the acetabulum. His orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Lee, explained that due to the displacement and the risk of early arthritis and hip instability, surgical repair was necessary. Vivaan underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery, where the bone fragments were realigned and secured with plates and screws. The initial recovery was tough; he was on crutches for 12 weeks with strict weight-bearing restrictions, attending rigorous physical therapy to regain strength and mobility. A year later, Vivaan has returned to teaching and light jogging, though competitive soccer is likely behind him. Emotionally, he cycled from anger and frustration at his lost athleticism to a profound gratitude for his restored basic function and a redefined sense of identity focused on coaching and mentoring his students.
