    Hi,

    When my son had problems doing that his hip ended up being impingement from the ball being flattened out and catching on the socket. It was so bad that he couldn't sit in the car. So when he was in 11th grade he had surgery and they did surgery arthroscopy and smoothed and reshaped the ball. He came out of surgery and was immediately able to be his raise knee 90 degrees. It really helped and allowed him to play soccer his senior year and also 2 years in college. Hope this helped.
