About Closed Reduction Of Femur Fracture
Key Highlights
-
Non-surgical approach avoids incisions and surgical wounds.Typically involves shorter procedure time compared to open surgery.Lower risk of surgical site infection and significant blood loss.Often suitable for pediatric patients where bone healing potential is high.Can be a definitive treatment for stable, well-aligned fractures.May lead to a faster initial recovery phase post-procedure./ul
Who is this surgery for?
- Stable, non-displaced, or minimally displaced fractures of the femur shaft or ends.
- Certain types of femoral neck or intertrochanteric fractures in younger patients.
- Fractures in children (pediatric femur fractures) which often heal well with casting.
- As an initial emergency management to stabilize the limb before possible surgery.
- Patients who are poor candidates for open surgery due to underlying health conditions.
- Fractures where the bone fragments can be adequately aligned without direct visualization.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive medical evaluation including imaging (X-rays, CT scan) to assess fracture pattern.
- Review of patient's medical history, allergies, and current medications.
- Fasting for several hours before the procedure if sedation or anesthesia is planned.
- Administration of intravenous (IV) antibiotics to prevent infection.
- Consent process explaining the procedure, risks, and alternative treatments.
- Planning for post-procedure immobilization (type of cast or brace).
Risks & possible complications
- Failure to achieve or maintain acceptable bone alignment (loss of reduction).
- Nerve or blood vessel injury from manipulation or tight casting.
- Compartment syndrome (increased pressure within leg muscles).
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism from immobility.
- Skin irritation, pressure sores, or allergic reaction to casting materials.
- Joint stiffness and muscle atrophy due to prolonged immobilization.
- Delayed union or non-union of the fracture, possibly requiring later surgery.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate post-procedure monitoring for pain, circulation, and nerve function.
- Strict elevation of the leg to reduce swelling and pain management with medications.
- Non-weight-bearing or partial weight-bearing as advised, using crutches or a walker.
- Regular follow-up X-rays to monitor fracture healing and alignment in the cast.
- Physical therapy after cast removal to restore knee and hip range of motion, strength, and gait.
- Gradual return to normal activities over several months, with full healing often taking 3-6 months.
-
Typical hospital stay: 1-3 days
-
Expected recovery time: 12-16 weeks for bone healing; 6+ months for full functional recovery

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....
Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
