Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
Here's an idea for skirted folks who may need to use crutches after an operation on their legs or because of a longer-term issue?
A company in The Netherlands, called Radical Design makes a Crutch Pouch to carry the sort of personal items which one would usually carry in a skirt pocket or in a shoulder bag. Such items might be difficult to take out of skirt pockets or a shoulder bag whilst balanching on a crutch.
They say, "If you have been on crutches for some months or indefinitively, you know how frustrating it is to try to take something out of your pocket without loosing one crutch.".
The crutch's handle passes through crutch bag's material and wraps around the crutch itself affixed by velcro.
The company is massively experienced in making bags for bicycles and also rucksacks. They've been established for over 30 years. I've owned one of their cycle bags and can testify to the high quality of their workmanship (workpersonship? ).

I'd find such an item to be of limited use on a tennis court, though. The little hidden hip pocket under my skort is much better for balls!

I'm puzzling on how you manage to extract a tennis ball from the little hip pocket under your skort whilst you are trying to hold onto a tennis racket and a crutch?

.....or even how you play tennis whilst holding a crutch?
Even Andy Murray never achieved that particular feat.

No. For tennis I usually dispense with crutches, walking frames and rollators, raquet in both hands, freeing one to throw up the ball when serving. This is where the nubile ladies reach deftly the hidden ball at their hip under their skort to throw up for serve no. 2.
That is only when serve no. 1 doesn't go 'in', of course.
