Will My Bone In Hip Heal?

I broke my hip and it was repaired with 3 screws on March 2, 2014. On my first follow-up visit the surgeon noted that one of the screws moved slightly and the bone also moved slightly. I am still in pain and only able to put 20% weight on the side where the hip broke. Did you think the bone will heal?

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.

Due to fracture neck femur he feels pain on any hip or body movement

Non weight bearing for few weeks is very important .And physiotherapy in form of CPM [continuous passive motion] can be started later.
I can not comment on bone healing with out looking at x ray,
You can send your all x ray attachment directly on my profile so that I can help you better.
