How soon can you walk normally after a fractured neck of femur?

For femoral neck fracture, if it is internal fixation surgery, you can walk normally about 2~3 months after surgery, if it is hip replacement surgery, you can get down on the floor on the second day after surgery, and you can walk normally about one month after surgery. After femoral neck fracture, either internal fixation surgery or hip replacement can be used. Internal fixation surgery is suitable for young patients, mainly with hollow nail fixation, and can be performed in a closed manner. Generally, bed rest is not required. The rehabilitation program for each patient varies from person to person and needs to be formulated by the surgeon according to the surgery, starting with crutches and then gradually walking normally, which will take about 2~3 months. If a hip replacement is used, generally speaking, the day after the operation, you can stand on the ground and walk with the help of others. However, it will take about a month of recovery with training in a walker to walk normally. If there is no obvious discomfort, you can walk normally in a month or so, but you should avoid too much internal retraction, internal rotation, deep squatting and other movements of the lower limbs. The specific situation varies from person to person. It is recommended that the patient should have a timely review after the operation, and follow the doctor’s instructions to carry out functional exercises, and if there is any discomfort, please have a timely review.
