It is not necessary to lie down for 3 months after internal fixation of femoral neck fracture, and you can walk partially weight-bearing on the ground with the help of crutches for 6 weeks after the operation.
Internal fixation is a common treatment method for femoral neck fracture, and hollow compression screws are often used for internal fixation. After restoring the stability of the fracture, bed rest is necessary at the initial stage. Due to the special location of femoral neck fracture, its blood supply is poor, if getting out of bed at an early stage, it will affect the blood supply of the fracture, and thus non-healing of the fracture or necrosis of the femoral head may occur.
Generally, after 6 weeks, if the review X-ray is clear that there is bone scab formation at the fracture end, you can use crutches and gradually go down to the ground to bear weight. During the recovery period, you should have a comprehensive and balanced diet, and eat more food with high calcium content, so as to facilitate the recovery of the fracture.
After internal fixation of femoral neck fracture, the recovery time may be different according to the different physical conditions, should be regularly reviewed, under the guidance of the doctor to carry out standardized treatment and rehabilitation exercises, not blindly on their own activities and exercise, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
