[Functional deficits and self-perceived performance after surgical hip dislocation].

Background: Surgical hip dislocation (SHD) is a common procedure to treat several hip problems, namely femoroacetabular impingements. After surgery patients are required to walk with reduced weight-bearing for six to eight weeks. The literature describes important changes in general health and functional state after immobilization but little is known about physical and functional recovery of these deficits.
