HI....I suggest you get him back to the hospital and get him examined again. This I am telling only to be doubly sure as in his last clinical examination after the accident he as normal. He might just developed a pain lager on and is having simple antalgic gait which will settle by itself. But with a background of accident I suggest you get him examined once more.
