The recovery period of intertrochanteric fracture is between 3-6 months. If the intertrochanteric fracture is in a good position, it can be treated conservatively, with bed rest and skin traction for the lower limbs, and the fracture can heal on its own in about 6-8 weeks of traction. After the fracture is healed, the joint function training can be carried out, including the strengthening of the muscles in front and behind the hip joint, which can better stabilize the joint. Functional exercises during the recovery period take three months, so the total sum of time is around six months. If the displacement of the intertrochanteric fracture is more pronounced and the stability of the fracture cannot be restored by resetting, surgical treatment, usually intramedullary nailing internal fixation, can be performed, and early functional exercises can be performed out of bed after one week after the operation. The recovery period after surgery will be much shorter, and can basically return to the normal level in about three months after surgery.
