Factors associated with early recovery of femur fracture: A Cross Sectional Descriptive study

Elizabeth Pushpa Rani S

Abstract


Femur fractures are the usual orthopedic injury requires long term care. Most femur shaft
fractures require surgery to heal or sometimes casts to immobilize the femur bone and induce
healing. Complete recovery from femur fracture takes upto 3 months to 1 year
Objective:
 To assess the factors that influence the early recovery of patients.
 To find out the association between factors influencing early recovery from fracture
with selected demographic variables of femur fracture patients
Design: Cross-sectional descriptive study design.
Setting:Orthopedic OPD, Narayan Medical College and Hospital, Jamuhar, Sasaram, Rohtas.
Participants: Seventy three study participants
