Did they perform this surgery? Can you message me about your treatment and its results? It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Continued.. but u get a lot of pain killers which help. parts of my leg r still numb cause they had 2 snip some nerves. hope u get fings worked out, cause i know the feeling of the limp and after trainings/practice, how painful it can get. hope fings go well and the doctors reckon walking+running will be algood after about 4-6 months. numbness can take up to 6-12 months 2 go away.

Hey, im 19 and have the exact same problem as you, since birth, both hips etc. 3 weeks ago i finally had the operation on my right hip. was in hospital 4 a week. at home now on bed rest and am starting walkin rehab this week as i can only bend my leg slightly. 3months recovery is required an have been told not 2 play contact sports again. if i didnt have the op i would keep chipping away at the ball of the femur and hav already got arthritis in both hips. its real painful after the op.

Hi, I have hip dysplasia, I am aged 20. Currently, I do not feel any pain, but I walk with a "limp". I was wondering what are my chances of walking normal with the surgery? (I have hip dysplasia on both hip joints, since birth). Are there any side effect? I do not want to have the surgery and not being able to walk fast, run for the rest of my life. Thanks

Well they shaved of a bit of bone so I could have full rotation, but only made one cut.

No, not typically. This procedure is performed for dysplasia and Perthes disease, which are hip conditions that are unrelated to SCFE.

Would this be performed for SCFE?
