Will hip joint problems recur after recovery?
Disease description:
I had a hip reduction at the hospital a few days ago. My colleague mentioned that it might recur—can a hip dislocation recur even after successful treatment?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lin Yunfei
Hip joint dislocation, once treated, does not necessarily recur. Under normal circumstances, prompt medical attention is essential following hip dislocation, and timely reduction—performed in close coordination with a physician—is critical. After successful treatment, consistent preventive measures and joint protection significantly reduce the likelihood of recurrence. However, inadequate protection and neglect of preventive strategies greatly increase the risk of re-dislocation.
