How long does it take for a femoral neck fracture to return to normal

  The recovery time for a femoral neck fracture takes at least 3 months, depending on the type of fracture and the patient’s condition.  After a femoral neck fracture, the blood vessels around the femoral neck are damaged and can affect the local blood circulation, so the patient needs to undergo surgery. If the femoral neck fracture is not displaced, it can be fixed with three screws to increase the local stability and facilitate the healing of the fracture. In about 3 months, the local fracture line disappears and the patient can fully recover. However, for femoral neck fracture in the elderly, due to more underlying diseases in the elderly, artificial femoral head replacement can be chosen to avoid long-term bed rest, and the patient can walk on the ground on the second day after surgery, which is conducive to the recovery of cardiopulmonary function, so it can reach a normal state in about 1 month.  During the recovery period, patients with femoral neck fracture need to pay attention to strict bed rest. X-ray films of the hip can be taken regularly to clarify the degree of fracture healing and bone scab growth.
