[|Human|] i had my hip broken nov 14 2010 and i had screws and a plate put in, ive started to have bad pain in that area and am realy worried, what could be wrong im 39yrs, i was told that i could lose my hip due to lack of blood supply to the hip, they said my age is a risk factor
[|AI|]  Dear sir /madam How long is the duration between hip pain and fracture fixation, Avascular necrosis of femoral head can occur even after good fracture fixation, as the blood supply is very precarious to femoral head, and there are multiple factors which affect the hip blood supply apart from fracture fixation Once femoral head necrosis develops hip arthritis ensues, Radiographs of your hip will help more in further assessing your scenario it need not be worried as pain free motion of your hip can be ensured with proper planning, and you may need another surgery.
