Dislocated Hip

Has anyone out there ever dislocated their hip and is still skiing and hitting jumps? Have any pros had this injury before? I dislocated my hip overshooting a park jump doing a rodeo 5, apparently the impact was too much for my hip to handle. The PT at the hospital said my days of hitting park jumps are over and even after I'm 100% recovered I could dislocate it by simply undershooting a jump. But he also seemed pretty negative saying I couldn't do things like play racquetball the same, which doesn't seem to be true when I see guys playing in the NFL after dislocating their hip. So anyone out there have experience with this?

Dislocations are when your bone literally slips out if it's joint and definatly need to be treated. that being said, they generally fix themselves within a few weeks. If you got it put back right away then I dob't see why you wouldn't be able to ski park. If you left it for a few days I do understand. The ligaments and tissues around your hip would have become inflamed and could have snapped. This would probably keep you fucked for a while even after PE. If you got it fixed right away then you might have minir tissue damage but it should heal itsself. Good luck you should be fine.

tough call. When you dislocate something, it will happen again. No getting around it. I dislocated my knee when I was 12, 6 years later i come off a dfd backseat and it popped right out and its gonna happen again in the future. The same thing will happen to your hips but Id say fuck it and keep skiing until it got bad.

Right I forgot about this. There is a higher chance of another dislocation but that does not mean it will definitely happen again.

The PT shouldn't have been that blunt and negative, but the general idea is that you are now at a greater risk of reinjury since it has dislocated once. That doesn't mean you should stop hitting jumps, but just be aware that sooner or later it will happen again. So it kind of becomes a mind game with yourself. But there are plenty of ways to help minimize you're risk from avoiding certain trick to perfecting mechanics and strengthening supporting muscles.
