Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A fractured hip with a non united fibula can cause progressive imbalance causing gait abnormalities. Since there is no facility to attach reports with the free queries, i am unable to assess your reports and guide you.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
