Postoperative Rehabilitation After Proximal Humeral Nailing

 

Recovering from a proximal humeral nailing surgery is a journey that requires patience and persistence. The procedure aligns the broken bone, but real healing comes through rehabilitation. Early on, small movements of the wrist, elbow, and hand prevent stiffness. By weeks two to four, gentle assisted exercises restore mobility. Around a month, the shoulder begins moving actively, while two months onward, strengthening exercises rebuild stability and balance. Within three to six months, most daily tasks become manageable again. Guided by surgeons, physiotherapists, and family support, patients steadily regain strength and function. With dedication, the shoulder returns to comfort and freedom.
