What Causes Pain After A Hip Fracture Repair?
Pain is commonly experienced after surgery to repair a hip fracture, this is due to inflammation as your body works to form new bone at the site of the fracture. But the pain may be the result of damage to other tissues during surgery – for example, skin and muscle. It is also common to experience swelling at the surgical site.
Why Is Physical Therapy Important After A Hip Fracture?
Your physiotherapist will show you ways to move more comfortably. Treatment is individualised to your fracture type, your surgery and the severity of the injury, and may include education, exercise therapy, soft tissue techniques, taping and advice on hip protection.
What Are The Benefits Of Physical Therapy Treatment?
Physiotherapy can help you get back into your daily routines.
The aim is to help you regain strength and return to daily activities such as bathing and dressing on your own.
