ARTHRITIS OF THE HIP JOINT

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR HIP DISLOCATES

If this happens, call Dr. Huddleston immediately and he will meet you in the emergency room of the hospital and relocate the hip. Do not eat or drink anything, since you may need an anesthetic to get the hip back in place. You may be brought to the hospital by car, but, if you have too much pain, an ambulance may be necessary. Sometimes it takes an open operation to get the hip back in place, but most of the time it can be "pulled" back in place.
