Hip Dislocation

2018-09-09 07:14:15
My father's left hip dislocated three months back during an accident. We consulted orthopedic Dr. and he fixed the same and advised bed rest for almost two and half months. After that on Doctor's advice we started exercise. After exercising for a month, on seeing fresh X-ray reports Doctor is saying that hip is not upto the mark, he has advised bed rest now for twenty days and has also prescribed to use traction. But he is saying that it might need to be operated. What should be done at this time? Kindly reply. Latest X-ray is attached herewith.
