How long does it take to recover from minimally invasive fracture surgery

In clinical practice patients are treated with minimally invasive surgery after a fracture has occurred. There is no uniform and definite time in the clinic as to exactly how long it takes to recover after surgery. This is because the recovery time is different for different parts of the fracture and for different ages of patients. For example, if an adult has an intertrochanteric femur fracture and a minimally invasive procedure is performed to give PFNA internal fixation, it usually takes 6-7 weeks after surgery to recover. If an elderly person also has an intertrochanteric femur fracture and is also given PFNA internal fixation, it usually takes 8-10 weeks to recover after surgery. In addition, if a patient has a minimally invasive tibial plateau fracture in the knee area, it usually takes 6-7 weeks or more to recover after surgery. Therefore, when a patient has a fracture and undergoes minimally invasive treatment, the recovery time is usually determined by the patient’s age and the actual site.
