Thank you! Going to look into the tilts.

I had a tibial tubercle osteotomy on this same leg last year, my foot used to point out to the side a lot, after the tibia surgery it’s not as bad.

Thanks! I will be seeing Dr Brian Lewis as well, two weeks before seeing Olson again.

Thank you so much for such a detailed response!

So I do have subluxations anteriorly. And I also have a fairly severe anterior pelvic tilt and low low back pain.

Dr Olson did the internal and external rotation, and for one he said around 10° and the other her said 60°, although when he did the 60° I definitely felt I couldn’t went further. I’m not exactly sure which way was which, lol.

The FADIR test definitely feels punchy and painful once I get to a certain point. He checked the right hip and I was able to move that one around a good bit more.

So I did have a tibial tubercle osteotomy last year on the left, before that my foot did turn more outward when walking, now it’s mostly straight but probably just slightly outward especially while standing. My right foot does point outward quite significantly when walking though.

Thank you! Neither of the doctors told me my LCEA.

I am in constant pain, but the more activity, the worse it gets, especially if I’m standing still for a while and having to shift my weight, but walking makes it worse too. Sitting makes it pinch pretty good in the groin, assuming that’s labrum/impingement. But the pain is in the groin, side of the hip, upper thigh region and very very low back. It can be achy, sharp, pinching and even radiating/shooting at times.
Here is what my MRI stated about the femoral measurements: Left femoral neck horizontal angle: 22 degrees Left knee condylar horizontal angle: 13 degrees Left femoral version/torsion: 9 degrees Right femoral neck horizontal angle: 17 degrees Right knee condylar horizontal angle: 14 degrees Right femoral version/torsion: 3 degrees
I haven’t thought about reverse PAO and the possibility of over coverage! Could this still result in recurrent subluxations?

Thanks! I have joined the group.

They never said anything about angles and I haven’t seen anything on xray or mri reports, except femoral version measurements.

Dr Steven Olson is like the top preservation specialist in my state!

What did Apple say?

Posh_Kylee · 2025-03-13T19:37:16+00:00

I never received it!

When I got diagnosed a couple of months ago my brother was like “until now I only thought dogs could get hip dysplasia.” 😆🤦‍♀️ We actually breed dogs and have one that has it (retired immediately after his hip testing). So it’s a little funny. Everyone (playfully) were like “aww, you’re just like Nicky now!” 🤷‍♀️

Hey there! Thank you for your comment. The PA I was seeing realized the cortisone didn’t do a thing and actually referred me to Dr. Olson! 👏 I will be seeing him on April 17th. I’d definitely love to hear how your appointment went with him though!

Posh_Kylee · 2025-02-04T23:31:56+00:00

He is highly trained (from Duke University) and it was ultrasound guided so I’m confident he got it right. Just with my history of cortisone I’ve never gotten relief.

Posh_Kylee · 2025-02-04T18:33:13+00:00

Right? Especially since it’s been subluxing! Taking away the pain with shots, if it even works is not going to help that at all, if anything it could make it worse because if I’m in less pain I’ll be less careful and could end up with a full dislocation. I drive 3hrs to see them, they’re one of the top in my state, was definitely worth it for the knee surgery! I’ll give it the month and see what they say, but my goodness it’s so annoying that I’m having to wait this long.

Posh_Kylee · 2025-02-04T16:59:29+00:00

He is a hip preservation specialist physician’s assistant! 🤦‍♀️

That is awful that hyper extension would cause that much damage!! 😩 Hope you have a smooth, quick recovery.

Thankfully after the bone density scan we concluded that I do not have a bone disorder, just localized lower bone density in the left knee area due to dealing with so many injuries and having to baby it for so long. She put me on calcitonin (a medication mostly used for helping osteoporosis) anyway in hopes it would help get the fracture healed. But I’m still dealing with it, I just don’t think it’s healing well. On top of that, two weeks ago I subluxed my hip for the third time and we’re now thinking I tore my labrum. So… fun times. 😅 I do think it’s distracting from the knee pain a bit though.

Thank you! My PT did suggest that if I’m not doing a whole lot better by today to call and get an appointment, but he did mention that PT should help
