Observational analysis improved hip function and muscle strength in 49 patients post-trochanteric fractures, indicating rehabilitation is critical for recovery.
Key Points
Significant improvement in hip motion and muscle strength was observed after physical therapy.
Hip flexion improved slightly more in the SIF group, while muscle strength increased more in the IM group.
Observed outcomes were not significantly influenced by age or gender among participants.
Both fixation methods showed similar rehabilitation outcomes in restoring hip function after fractures.
