Data from studies indicate that thigh pain is a significant complication after successful cementless total hip replacement surgery. In most cases, reported symptoms are mild to moderate, resolve spontaneously or do not progress, and require little or no therapeutic intervention.

Answered by Dr. Hanisha Ramchandani

* Thigh pain after hip replacement may be mild to moderate, 

   Thigh pain after hip replacement,  may or may not require therapeutic intervention 
* Usually some discomfort in the hip and thigh region is common as body adjusts to the changes made in that area.
* Thigh pain after surgery may be due to dislocation of the implant 
* Or due to fracture around the implant 
* Thigh pain may also be due to changes in the length of the leg, some exercises will help to increase the mobility and strength 
* If thigh pain is more while walk and ok at rest, then it might be due to loode acetabular cup component.
* In some cases it may be due to bone prosthesis micromotion
* Excess stress transfer to the femur bone 
* Tendonitis I.e. inflammation around the tendons can cause thigh pain
* stress fractures, 
* Labral tears
* Cartilage/ tendon tears
* Periosteal irritation
* If thigh pain is immediately after hip surgery few points to be ruled out are
- subtle infection 
- femur fracture
- loose implants that doesn't allow bone to grow into the implant due to too much of micro motion

Thigh pain after hip replacement can be caused by various factors such as tissue damage during surgery, incorrect placement of the joint, or inflammation due to the body's response to the implant. It is important to consult with your doctor if you experience persistent or severe thigh pain after hip replacement surgery.

Good morning. I was doing high jump in a school,and my leg ankle removed and got my leg a little short. Can it be resolved be straighten it and make it balanced with the other one

Male | 34

You seem to have dislocated your ankle, which can give your leg a longer impression. Such occurrences are observed when the bones in your ankle are misplaced. To correct this, you should go to an orthopedist who can put the bones back into the right place. A splint or a brace may be used by them to enable your ankle to recover properly. Adhering to their recommendations is critical if you want your leg to be straightened and aligned with your other leg. Rest, elevate your leg, and stay away from putting weight on it until you see a doctor.

Let me suggest that you never move any weight on your ankle until it is completely healed. Even slow walking puts too much pressure on the fracture, and it can still cause more injury.Please follow your doctor's advice

Hi..I am a 39 year old female and slipped and fell on a wet floor at a function that I attended. However my foot started swelling up and my knee and the side of my knee is painful and swollen although I can walk with a limp so I don't think anything is broken...could it be Muscle injury or tendons etc...

Female | 39

According to the symptoms you are going through, it is likely that you bruised your knee or your muscles or tendons around it got injured. This might present as a combination of swelling, pain, and immobility of the leg Lie down while putting your feet up, apply a cold compress to the area, stretch your leg, and wrap it with a long elastic bandage to reduce swelling. If the pain persists, replays, or intensifies, or you find it hard to bear its weight, go to the orthopaedist.
