Despite the robust bones and muscles encompassing the hip, injuries remain a common occurrence, influenced by factors such as the nature of the activity, individual age, and health history.

Depending on the severity, orthopedic hip surgery may be necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n Hip fracture symptoms, such as a sudden fall, manifest immediately after an accident or injury:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Symptoms of a hip fracture may include:<\/span><\/p>\n Causes range from direct hip blows to falls, motor accidents, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and sports injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n A CONA hip specialist diagnoses and formulates a treatment plan, considering nonsurgical options for non-displaced fractures, such as pain management, anti-inflammatory medications, immobilization, and physical therapy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Displaced fractures may require surgical interventions like Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) or partial\/total hip arthroplasty, where implants replace the bone to form a new, functional hip joint. Fractured bones heal and fuse over several months, with post-surgery physical therapy enhancing strength, flexibility, and function.<\/span><\/p>\n The recovery time for hip fractures varies but involves ongoing monitoring, rehabilitation, and support. Risks associated with hip fractures include complications like infection, blood clots, or joint stiffness.<\/span><\/p>\n CONA specialists employ a step-by-step approach, obtaining accident reports, conducting multiple-view x-rays, and performing a thorough physical examination. The accurate diagnosis helps determine the fracture’s severity, guiding the prescription of an appropriate treatment plan.<\/span><\/p>\n Women over 50 experiencing hip pain are encouraged to consult a CONA hip specialist promptly to investigate if osteoporosis is the underlying cause. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective management, involving bone density testing and targeted interventions like medications, lifestyle adjustments, and nutritional guidance to enhance bone health. CONA’s commitment extends beyond initial diagnosis, offering holistic care to ensure comprehensive and successful recovery journeys.<\/span><\/p>\n Our Carolina Orthopedic & Neurosurgical Associates team is prepared to assist hip surgery patients in navigating the most suitable and effective paths to promote comprehensive healing and recovery, letting you get back to the things that matter in life.
