Hello!

I have the x-ray photos of someone who got diagnosed with hip dysplasia and he isn't sure if a surgery would make sense in his case. His doctor told him he shouldn't be doing a surgery because it's only a mild case of hip dysplasia. He is a weightlifter and boxer and isn't sure if without surgery, arthritis will occur later in life. His doc told him to stop going super heavy on exercises like squats and deadlifts and use lighter weights. Since he is unsure what to think about his docs advice, he seeks advices from other physicians. Can you take a look at the photos and tell me what you think about it? He would really appreciate it since he is pretty desperated that his career as a boxer will be over.
