When surgeon operated he found the medius and minimus completely torn from bone. I was given a very large bulky brace to wear .. Ill fitting and not really protecting muscle repair so I ditched it. I’m just very careful how I walk… I am now using cane .. today ..1month!

Wonderful to hear how well you are doing! Also sad to hear that you had an ill-fitting brace, since there are better options out there. I think the issue is unequal training/experience amongst PT's and prosthetists who design/make/fit these braces. If you begin to have problems, it might be a good idea to ask for a referral to a prosthetist experienced in treating torn hip muscles, which are notoriously slow to repair.
Good luck as you heal.
