    APFN Aimstrong Proximal Femoral Nail,Medical Device ...
    Early active mobilization following proximal femoral nail (PFN) fixation of hip fractures—often within 24–48 hours post-surgery—is essential to reduce mortality, prevent complications like pneumonia and thrombosis, and improve functional recovery. This technique, suitable for unstable trochanteric fractures, enables immediate weight-bearing and faster return to pre-fracture mobility. 
    Key Components for Early Mobilization with PFN 
    • Surgical Stability: PFN provides a stable construct for comminuted/unstable intertrochanteric fractures, allowing immediate or early weight-bearing (often full weight-bearing, depending on stability and patient strength).
    • Postoperative Protocol: Mobilization typically starts on Day 1, involving static quadriceps exercises, passive knee range of motion, and sitting on the edge of the bed.
    • Multidisciplinary Approach: Early, coordinated efforts between surgeons, physiotherapists, and nurses, along with pain management, are crucial.
    • Benefits: Early mobilization significantly reduces hospital stays and decreases the risk of bedbound complications (delirium, pressure sores, pneumonia). 
    Risks & Precautions 
    • Mechanical Failure: While early weight-bearing is preferred, excessive force in weak, osteoporotic bone carries a risk of implant cut-out.
    • Monitoring: Vigilant monitoring of hemodynamic stability and potential early complications is required. 
    • Effect of Early Mobilization on Hip and Lower Extremity Postoperative
      In addition, early mobilization is defined as a physical activity carried out at appropriate intervention, providing benefits to t...
