Syncope fell onleft hip shoulderhead intense pain. 5week hip replacment on right side. could this fall cause issues with hip replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A fall onto a replaced hip can lead to a fracture around the implant. If after a fall, your replaced hip doesn't feel "right" , give it a couple of days. If it is still hurting more than a bruise, it would be prudent to see your PCP or the orthopedist that replaced your hip . An x-ray will be definitive.
