Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear sir /madam
How long is the duration between hip pain and fracture fixation,
Avascular necrosis of femoral head can occur even after good fracture fixation, as the blood supply is very precarious to femoral head, and there are multiple factors which affect the hip blood supply apart from fracture fixation

Once femoral head necrosis develops hip arthritis ensues,

Radiographs of your hip will help more in further assessing your scenario


And it need not be worried as pain free motion of your hip can be ensured with proper planning and you may need another surgery.
