I had a car wreck and got an acetabular fracture in right hip 4 months ago. They repaired it by screwing what looks like metal strips around the socket. I am 46 years old and worked construction - very active. I can walk now with a cane but have a bad limp because that leg is hard to straighten. I know it hasnt been all that long ago and I am still early in the recovery process - but ever since it happened that leg lays out - in a retroverted position. How can I get it back straight as it seems to have just grown back this way. What problems will the retroversion cause later?
Has anyone else had this same experience - what can I expect later as I continue my rehab?
