Hello, I had a fracture in my femur 3 years ago. The doctor at that time treated the fracture by placing a rod in it. In starting it felt normal after the surgery, but now I seeing that my foot is not pointing straight now as my other unharmed leg's foot instead it's now pointing a little outward. If I try to get it straight then I can't walk properly and my knee points inward. There is most times pain in my hip and knee and I can't even run properly now. I looked online and found out that it's a case of femoral retroversion and sometimes it needs surgery to fix it. But i'm wondering that is there such reliable facility available in india where they fix this femoral retroversion because now I can't do all those things I used to do before and this thing is affecting my self esteem.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Treatment of femoral retroversion can become very difficult. The primary treatment is to attempt to stretch the muscle group in the hip to improve internal rotation. This must be done aggressively at a very early age to try to improve the overall muscle balance in the hip. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
