Scar Tissue Case Study

Below are photos taken from a client who was part of a case study. He underwent hip replacement surgery. A titanium rod was cross bolted onto the femur from top to bottom. You can see how swollen and bruised the leg is both from the fall and the surgery. X-rays show where the rod is bolted on the left femur.

Day after the fall and surgery February 8

Over time we began to increase circulation of blood and lymph throughout the scar. The client was consistent with their Physical Therapy Post Op. You can see on November 19, while the scar is still visible, it has almost completely blended with the skin tone.
