The setting is 1730 rural Poland and the character is an 8-year-old boy. He will get either very primitive medical treatment or none at all (this part is variable). And I need the injury to be caused either by a bad fall or a crushing-type injury (i.e. hit with something heavy).
I need the injury to be something he would recover from yet would leave him with (at a minimum) a permanent limp. It would be good if it causes pain even when 'healed'.
I'm thinking hip dislocation that was not properly reduced (i.e. the head of the femur never properly put back in the pelvic socket). Would this work?
Thanks in advance!!
