I'll understand more in the next couple days, but looks like this happens occaisionally with 12/13 year old boys. The femur shifts out of the hip socket and the cartiledge prevents it from slipping back. He climbed more than usual and walked, but it was already bad before thetrip. Then Tuesday night he fell and knocked things out of place. They have to see if it is just the right side that will get a pin, or if it is a symetrical situation.

Glad I made the decision to come home rather than stay. Child was/is miserable. Staying would have only made things worse.......
