Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.
Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query
It would be a really good idea to check an
x ray. AN injury liek that could be a basic dislocation. The pop feeling you have mentioned is quite typical to a dislocation in fact. As long as you have the dislocation, you will need to limp
The fact also remains that the dislocations can be managed quite simply. There are maneuvers for almost every kind of dislocation where the joint can be replaced immediately and this leads to an almost instant relief.
Of course we need to make sure that it is not a
soft tissue injury. BUT I seriously dont think that this picture describes a soft tissue injury.
A bony injury would cause too much pain (usually), so I dont think its that. Besides, it can be shown in the same x ray.
So I think X ray is a must
I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.
I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.
