Physiotherapy services for femur fracture

A fracture at the thigh bone or femur, the longest, strongest and heaviest bone in the human body, is called as a femur fracture. The size and strength of the femur is extremely high. This usually means that under normal conditions, a massive force or considerable injury is required to lead to a femur fracture. Falls and automobile accidents are some of the major reasons for a femur fracture. Fractures resulting after a small injury may suggest the existence of the bone illness. Sometimes, a fractured femur of a child might be an indication of child abuse.

A fractured femur may cause pain, leg bleeding, and inability to move the leg. Severe blood loss might lead to shock. Sometimes, bone fragments may also remain in the skin. Fractures of the femur are associated with conditions that might lead to other injuries as well to other regions of the human body.

Femur fracture physiotherapy can help with fracture post a femur fracture and esp. helpful in cases where the fracture runs from the top of the hip to the knee.

 

Mostly this fracture will require surgery to set the bones back. Nonsurgical treatment entails holding the pieces in place, so the bone can get set and healed.

 

Based on the situation, the following may be used.

 

  • A metal plate with screws,
  • a steel rod through the bone or
  • metal hooks and a framework.

Proper healing doesn’t merely mean the elimination of the implanted aids and patient’s resumption of daily activities. A well-designed program of femur fracture physiotherapy can guarantee a sure, safe, secure and successful rehabilitation. Failure to cure properly may aggravate the condition and curtail freedom of movement.

 

Once the physiotherapy plan has been prescribed, you may start range-of-motion and strengthening exercises to enhance conditioning of the impacted area. Exercises will ease movement and re-establish flexibility. While some of these can be carried out at home, a few may be better suited to be carried out within the physiotherapy center.

 

Diagnosis of a Femur Fracture

 

A femur fracture is a serious condition mostly resulting from an accident and diagnosed by a doctor mostly in an emergency area because these cases mostly reach the emergency wards only. If there are any visible signs and a massive pain in legs, hips, the doctor may use a CT scan or an x-ray to detect the fracture. The fracture may be intense enough to split the femur or just an easy crack or bad enough to be broken and piercing through the skin.

Femur fracture treatment entails an admission in the hospital, and an operation followed by physiotherapy exercise for femur fracture. Most patients get therapy in a rehab center or nursing.

 

While full recovery may take anywhere between 12 months to 12 weeks, most men and women start walking with the support of a physical therapist and physiotherapy after femur fracture surgery within one or two days.
