Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Old injury to femur can lead to early hip arthritis.
If you are having pain and you want good hip movement then joint replacement is good surgery.
If you can send your x ray then I can help you better.
Anterior hip replacement surgery gives good results.
choose good quality of implant material which will last longer.

Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.

Diet rich in calcium and protein will help for recovery.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
