Q: Hip Pain

Is it standard procedure to place a rod in the femur when a patient complains of hip pain? Would a healing femur fracture cause hip pain?Also, after the rod surgery is complete, if the leg heals with the knee facing outward, what could have possibly caused it?

For Me..

I had scfe (slipped capital femoral epiphysis) in both legs my hips were both pinned. My right one was 4 yrs ago, the left 2.5 yrs ago. My rigfht knee cap faces out (not all the way) and my foot goes with my knee. This has caused a lot of knee pain. You should talk to your doctor to find out more info.
