Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
first of all it seems blunt trauma to left hip. minor fracture needs to be ruled out by my xray of the pelvis with both hips anteroposterior and frog leg views. If xray is normal we treat it as blunt trauma and treatment is rest ice application and tab zerodol sp twice a day for pain relief. if Xray is abnormal please consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area.
