Suggest Treatment For Pain Above The Knee And Hip
I had a rod put in my left leg last July to repair a fractured femur. I have recently been experienced pain above the knee and hip. I feel that the hardware could have slipped slightly causing this pain. Even sharp pains deep in the hip. my doctor says the fracture has healed - everything looks good but I know something has changed after almost 11 months doing well Your thoughts

Hi,
Sometimes mild infection due to foreign body implant in femur can develop. You need to investigate with X-ray of local part. You can revert with X-ray report done to check if for any abnormality is present.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
