Hi all

I had a comminuted femur fracture, and subsequently had a CRIF surgery on 22nd Feb 2013.
Now it's nearing 5 months, the bone is healing ok.
But I guess my gluteus medius has become weak and I am showing all signs of the T gait.

My questions are :

1> Is it normal to develop this after a boken femur?
2> How long does it take to get rid of this ? I am doing the usual clamp shell, and sideways leg raises, lying down and standing.
3> Strangely, my groin hurts more than the hips if I want to walk straight. Is it usual?
4> My bone hasn't healed fully. Can that be a cause for this gait?

Unfortunately my OS doesn't have much time for all this. And my PT is not educated enough to answer all the questions.
This limping is a little annoying, but i must say I am progressing through it. 1 month back I couldn't even raise my legs sideways, now I can do 20-30 times at a stretch with some pain near the end.

Thanks in advance
