Q. In my recent X-ray, my hip implants look like they have moved. Why?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through both the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

• What you have observed is true, but it is not because of the screw moving. This is because of the way the X-ray has been taken. I reassure you there is nothing to worry. Your bone is good, and the implants are fine and well placed.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• This depends on your doctor's techniques and the approach that was used during the surgery. If he had used a posterior approach then squatting is a big no. You can put on the socks by yourself, but take care not to twist your legs. It is best to discuss these precautions with your treating doctor as he will know best.
