Walking without a hip joint

I do not have a hip and I have to walk with a walker. Does anyone know how I might be able to walk again. My doctor that took my hip replacement out won't put one back in now. I would really like to walk again especially since I'm only 42.

I’m 36 I had a girdlestone procedure after they removed my hip implant.Due to mrsa . it took me about a year of daily exercising to get muscle back in my leg to be able to walk without assistance.. I do use a cane in public cuz if the limp but don’t need it. My surgeon thinks be cause I’m doing so well without the hip joint that doing another one would just be too risky I guess.. I could get the infection again and be screwed.. so that sucks
