Long-term effects often missed:
Chronic pain or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) – persistent, severe pain despite healing; can be medically complex and costly.
Mobility loss or restriction – difficulty walking, sitting, driving, or needing walking aids long-term.
Leg length difference/gait abnormality – especially after fractures, may require orthotics or shoe lifts.
Urinary or bowel dysfunction – pelvis nerve injury can affect continence, needing future management.
Hip dislocation risk/future instability – risk increases after major trauma or replacement surgery.
Scarring and cosmetic impact – visible surgical scars; affects confidence for some clients.
Depression, anxiety, psychological distress – prolonged recovery, inability to return to work or lifestyle.
