Hi, I fell off my bike and fractured the acetabulum (socket part of hip joint). Although there was no surgery the recovery is long - non weight bearing for 10-12 weeks (I am 5 weeks in) with gradual return to function. I have further restrictions - no more than 90 degree angle between torso and knee (so no bending forward), knee to stay below hip, no adduction, avoid flexion. This injury is compounded by the fracture to elbow on same side, though I should be weight bearing in the arm shortly (and can rest on forearm). Range of motion in elbow is good.
So, any thoughts on what return to yoga looks like? I was thinking perhaps I could continue to stretch good hip from prone position on bed, are there one sided stretches that don't trigger flexion or adduction in the bad side? Just gently fooling around, seems things are tightly coupled. Is it at all possible to keep mobility/flexibility in good hip with seated stretches/prone stretches before I am full weight bearing in the hip, or do I need to wait 6 months and come back later.
Thanks
