alpha.mooseYesterday I over-rotated a backflip pretty bad at Woodward PC and dislocated my hip. Does anyone have any experience with skiing again after an injury like this? The thought of not being able to ski the way I want to kills me, but so does the idea of dislocating my hip again. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

mystery3Have you had hip issues in the past? Do you need surgery or anything? If not, what are the chances of dislocating your hip a second time?
casualI’ve never seen a hip dislocation. How did it relocate/reduce? On its own?

alpha.mooseIt is more commonly associated with car accidents, but I guess as far as sport-related hip dislocations go skiing is up there. They knocked me out in the ER and reduced it. My partner told me it was pretty gnarly to watch them reduce it though. So happy I was unconscious!
casualExcruciating pain until that point? Sounds insane.
how’d they splint it? Could they even put you on a scoop/backboard? 10/10 pain? How was the toboggan ride?
zoinkedDid they say anything about a possible rip/tear in your labrum? I think it is a pretty common injury following a dislocation since it deals with the hip joint socket.
I tore my labrum in my hip a few years back not from dislocating my hip but just from overuse and landing weird. Do you ever feel or hear your hip pop when moving around? It almost feels like an elastic band being stretched over a ball and then releasing one side of it.
alpha.mooseThey said it is a possibility, but I won't know for sure until I get an MRI in a month or two. I do not remember hearing/feeling a rip or pop, but it all happened so fast it could have just not registered.
If you don't mind me asking, how was your recovery after your labrum tear?
alpha.mooseIt was so painful. 7/10 baseline and 10/10 whenever someone moved my leg. Someone knocked my injured leg over 6 inches on accident in the ER and it was the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life. Plus I could feel my femur moving around which was super disconcerting. No one ended up splinting it. Thankfully I was basically at the bottom of the hill when it happened and the toboggan ride was pretty short. Getting on the backboard sucked and the pain was best when I kept my knee slightly bent, but my muscles started spasming from being exhausted in addition to the dislocated hip. Ski patrol and the paramedics honestly did such an amazing job though, super grateful for those dedicated men and women.

theabortionatorI thought I fucked mine in 2019 but luckily just kinda jammed it in the socket. Even that sucked and could barely walk for a week or so but was stoked that it was something that healed easy on its own.
Also remember having the xray and being like oh shit, theres my pelvis, and there's my peen.
Disclocations seem fucked though. Sucks when your in the park and your friend tipps over gently off a rail and doesn't get up because they're shoulder is out. Crazy how easily it happens when you've done it enough times.
Hopefully the hip is more difficult/less likely to happen again. I know thread is old but damn. Seems gnar
SpunionFor sure a possibility, and it wasn’t to bad, it’s a speedy recovery if you do it right but that’s the case after any surgery.
Immediately after surgery they put you into a brace that restricts the movement on your hip to move no further than a certain amount of degrees. The degree of which you can bend/move your hip increases as your recovery progresses. Crutches are used and they will promote putting weight on your leg the very first day which hurts like hell but it’s what you need to do.
Overall man the recovery is not bad, I was back to 100% after 3-4 months and I learned some very good movement techniques through recovery to keep everything loosey goosey which is a plus to know.
Let us know what you find! Hope all goes well
StupidsenderYo man, dealing with a broken pelvis after overshooting the large line at bachelor a couple months back, been told I might have a torn labrum, possibly on both sides, still fighting with docs to get an mri. What were the main symptoms you had?

RparrI thought I had a torn labrum after a skiing accident. It was quite easy to get a doc to send me to an MRI, I told them that I had been having pain while sitting for a couple months and that was all it took.
If you get one, try to get one with contrast dye. Apparently it reduces the chance that the MRI misses the labral tear
OregonDeadSolid first post, Username checks out
StupidsenderWhat did it end up being?
RparrSlightly torn hip flexor. Caused a lot of similar symptoms as a labrum, but healed on its own after a few months. Hope yours isn’t the labrum
