What cox valga about in Adults with people with Cerebral palsy

[@hds7923]

Hey could anyone explain what does "FRACTURE OF THE NECK OF LEFT FEMUR WITH COXA VARA SEEN" exactly mean ?

[@ash5900]

I was born with coxa vara I used to walk with a waddling gait until I had an operation at age 11 which resulted in using crutches

[@LordAughost]

@Ash I also have the same condition when i was born, but luckily i can still walk properly. The only problem is i have difficulties in walking long distances because my hip gets painful. The doctors told me they cant perform an operation to me because they cant guarantee my safety. But you said you got an operation? What happened why do you need to use crutches?

@@LordAughost I had the operation whrn I was 11 it was supposed to even out my hips make me walk without the limp but after surgery my leg kept getting weaker I tried physio hydrotherapy everything eventually I had to use crutches

[@LordAughost]

@@ash5900 but what causes for you to use crutches? Isn't the operation supposed to fix it? I lived in the Philippines and they say they cant perform any kind of operation to me because they said coxa vara is a rare condition. We went to different hospitals, tried everything but until now there's no progress. But after reading your comment, i thought maybe there's a way to fix it in other country.
