What is a good treatment to follow for my hip's dislocation?


I had a hip's dislocation three weeks ago, and the orthopedic's doctor who made me the hip's reduction said that I could stand with both legs (helped by crutches) after four weeks, and I'm very happy because there's only one week left, the problem is... my mom (also a doctor, but not an orthopedic's one) say that I have to spend two months without leaning the left leg (the afected one). I really think that the opinion of an orthopedic's doctor (who made the reduction hymself!) is better than the opinion of my mom, the problem is that the consequences of a bad treatment on a hip's dislocation could lead even to bone's disease, so... any doctor or medicine's student who help me?

I would definetely follow the advise of the orthopedist. Generally speaking, while we do have to respect the healing process, prolonged inactivity can lead to significant muscular imbalances which may make you more prone to dislocation. Post dislocation rehab is helpful at restoring acitivation of muscles that were shut down during the injury. It will depend on the direction of dislocation and whether there was any disruption to the labrum as to what types of acitvities you should avoid. Your orthopedist is the one to ask...no offense to your mom.

Follow your Orthopedist's advice and get a referral for physical therapy. Physical therapy will help to strengthen your hip, and help you return to normal.

I am surprised that neither your mother or orthopedist talked about PT.
