S73.01: Dislocation of hip: Posterior
You have injured your hip.
The hip joints are outside, to the side of the pelvis. They connect the pelvis to the thighbones. The hip joints enable the legs to be moved in different directions.
In your case, the bones in your hip joint are not properly aligned. In the process, your thigh bone has slipped backward.
As a result you may have some pain or not be able to move your leg properly.
