A fracture of the neck of the femur for a full three years is usually difficult to return to normal, and surgery is recommended if it is associated with functional impairment.
Recovery from femoral neck fracture depends mainly on the damage to the blood supply caused by the fracture. If the fracture is of subcapital or transcervical type, ischemic necrosis of the femoral head due to the interruption of blood supply is very difficult to recover, and it is basically impossible to recover for three years after the fracture, and the deformation of the femoral head caused by ischemic necrosis of the femoral head will also lead to impaired joint mobility and pain.
Most of the dysfunction is caused by ischemic necrosis of the femoral head. Therefore, for those who have fractured the femoral neck for three years, it is recommended to have surgical treatment, such as hip arthroplasty, if there is poor joint function.
Patients with femoral neck fracture are recommended to undergo standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor in a timely manner.
