Hip Fracture Surgery Physiotherapy in Karachi | Post-Operative Rehabilitation After Hip Fracture

A hip fracture often requires surgery (such as fixation with screws/rod or a hip replacement type procedure) to stabilize the bone and help you return to movement. After surgery, it is common to have pain, swelling, stiffness, weakness, reduced balance, and difficulty with walking and daily activities. Early movement and rehabilitation are widely emphasized to improve recovery and long-term function after hip fracture. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Physiotherapy After Hip Fracture Surgery in Karachi

Post-operative rehab focuses on getting you moving safely again. Clinical guidance and reviews describe early mobilization as a key part of post-hip-fracture care—typically including bed mobility, sit-to-stand, and walking with an assistive device as appropriate. Weight-bearing is usually allowed unless your surgeon has restricted it. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Walking After Hip Fracture Surgery

Walking practice is a major part of recovery. Many patient leaflets and clinical guidance highlight that your therapist will guide walking and tell you how much weight you can put through the operated leg. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

We progress walking step-by-step: short safe distances → improved endurance → better gait quality (less limp) → stairs and outdoor tolerance.
