What happens if you dislocate the same hip a second time?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Often surgery: Depends on what seems to be the cause. If there are recurrent dislocations often a revision surgery is needed to make the hip more stable.

Repeat surgery: This frequently means that revision hip surgery may be needed to try avoiding further episodes of dislocation best to discuss this with your orthopedic suregon.
