Pain following hip dislocation

The hip joint is a a very stable joint, made that way in part by massive ligaments. Therefore the amount of forces required to dislocate a hip is great and usually found in car accidents, falls from high places, and sports injuries.
 

The most common hip dislocations occur posteriorly such as in sports like football, rugby, and soccer, the individual is hit in the front of the thigh, forcing the thigh/hip complex backward, resulting in hip dislocations. This tears the ligamentum teres and the posterior capsule.

 


 

Once the hip is surgically reset (put back in place), the patient must use crutches for two weeks after the injury. Protected weight-bearing is continued for two to six months, depending on the surgeon's school of thought.

Generally, the patient is not allowed to return to athletics for a minimum of three months. Long-term consequences of posterior hip dislocations can include sciatic nerve injury, avascular necrosis of the
femoral head (hip joint damage due to decreased blood supply), and significant arthritis and cartilage damage.

If a patient sustained enough force to fracture a bone, it can be assumed that ligament damage also occurred. Even if the bone heals, there is no guarantee that the ligaments will also heal. As a matter of fact, it is more likely, in such a case, that the ligaments will not heal completely.

A joint dislocation significantly disrupts all the structures that support the joint. We recommend
Prolotherapy after any joint dislocation occurs. If the athlete desires to get back to athletics as soon as possible, then weekly or biweekly Prolotherapy is given, and often with strong proliferant solutions. Often, after just a few Prolotherapy sessions, workouts may begin. A total of four to six Prolotherapy sessions are usually required to resolve the joint weakness. Prolotherapy, in this case, can speed the recovery process, allowing an athlete to return to playing sooner than with the traditional route. More importantly, the athlete comes back with a stronger hip.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
