Prognosis and Duration of Disabling Effects

Mobility may be restricted as a result of pain, however, with treatment as above and avoiding the activities which increase pain, this should be minimal.

Sometimes a stick may be used to help weight-bearing but this is unusual.

Over time and with a sensible exercise regime full recovery should occur.

People with this condition are unlikely to be at risk of falling or prone to falls.
