Recovery and Rehabilitation After Intertan Nail Fixation

 

A broken femur is a serious injury that demands time, patience, and proper care to heal. The Intertan nail, a specially designed metal rod placed inside the thigh bone, plays a crucial role in stabilizing the fracture and promoting recovery. In the first 48 hours after surgery, pain management and gentle movements like ankle wiggling help maintain circulation and prevent stiffness. Once home, following your surgeon’s weight-bearing instructions and working closely with a physical therapist are essential. Gradual exercises will rebuild strength and mobility. Over time, you’ll progress from using a walker to walking unaided as your bone heals, usually confirmed by X-ray around three months post-surgery. Full recovery typically takes six months to a year. Staying consistent with therapy, eating nutritious foods, and maintaining a positive mindset are key to success. Siora Surgicals Pvt.
