    Re: Recovery from a femur fracture

    hi,i got a femur fracture on my right thigh. then, 3 weeks later my wound got infected. it was pretty bad,since the serous flow out non stop.
    its been almost 5 month now and i still on crutches (partial weight bearing) and still consuming the antibiotics (t cefuroxime). the current blood test (ESR) shows 60mm/hr.
    the problem is, the doctor said that i dont need to hv physio. but i'm worried since i cant bend my leg as normal. there's a few position that i cant raise my leg and bend.
    what is your opinion about this.

    Re: Recovery from a femur fracture

    I broke my distal femur 6months ago and couldnt bend my knee because of it being in a cast for 3-4months. My docot didnt suggest a physio as i was young but i got my gp to transfer me to a local physiotherapist he then gave me some exercises like bending the leg till where it stops and holding it there for a bit. now i have a 5degrees left till it fully bends. You also need to get your muscles back, i am no doctor but i have experienced this. hope this helped and once again i am no doctorrrr
