Depends on how serious the fracture is

If they need to open the joint and insert pins or anything similar, he’s done

Hip surgery is a very different thing than knee surgery

I’m a lead systems engineer for a company that makes orthopedic surgery robots. With some of our best surgeons, people literally walk out of the hospital after a total knee replacement (sometimes). The rehab after hip arthoplasty is lengthy and brutal.

There might be 5 surgeons in North America that could do a surgery like what Tua probably needs and have the patient return to being an athlete maybe 10% of the time. And there might not

I had this injury along with 3 pelvic fractures, a broken femur, and a fractured spine. I made a full recovery and I’m actually faster than I was before the injury. Took a year and a half though. Still can’t sleep on my left side, but that’s because of the titanium rod in my thigh. Other than that, they better put him on xarelto, not warfarin, until he has full mobility.

I question the popular "fact" that Bama didn't need Tua to win this game. They looked dead in the water after he went out. If not for taking a revenge cheap shot on Miss St's only good offensive player, what would the score have ended?
Not saying Miss St comes back in the game that played. But take Tua out, and Bama scores what? They got only 3 in the half he was out. So 17 ? That's generous, and very winnable for Miss St at home.

Bottom line, Saban will play you if you don't stop him.
There's no Doctors standing on a table in Bama to protect the "amateur athletes".
Where is NCAA ? Oh, right, worrying about the next kid who sells beanies he knit with his own 2 hands for $5.

Were any of your fractures in the acetabulum?

(And how the heck did it happen (or do I want to know?)?)

Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa set to have hip surgery on Monday

Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is scheduled to have hip surgery Monday after being evaluated in Houston, team orthopedic surgeon Lyle Cain said in a statement released Sunday night.

Tagovailoa dislocated his hip in the Crimson Tide's 38-7 win over Mississippi State on Saturday, ending his season. Sources confirmed to ESPN that he also suffered a posterior wall fracture.

Apparently he was medically cleared (from the ankle injury) to play. Are you saying that lingering effects of his ankle injury somehow contributed to him getting his hip injured?

Take a medical redshirt next year kid.

Re: Just feel awful for the kid.

I agree, even though I seriously doubt that anyone from Alabama "felt awful" for Nick Bosa last year.

Here's an informative/interesting article where they compare Tua's hip injury to Bo Jackson's hip injury:

Re: Take a medical redshirt next year kid.

The above article say recovery time shouldn't be more than 6 months: "At minimum, this could heal in three months, Banffy said. Six months is more likely, however."

If true, he possibly could play next year. If this is correct: "I don't think this will knock him out of the first round, for sure," Banffy said. "It will probably knock him out of the top five, which is where people were predicting him in but I think that it all depends on how he progressively heals and how he looks at the combine." I'd suggest he just opt for the 2020 NFL draft in lieu of coming back to Alabama.
