We have probably all been cautioned about a Femoral Neck Fracture (FNF) at some point in our recovery, and that is something that I certainly don't want to have to deal with, nor any of us for that matter. I think the cautions are in order since they come from our surgeons and PT staff.
However, I am only aware of 1 FNF in all of the surgeries Dr. Brooks (Cleveland Clinic) has done, (has to be close to 1500 at this point) and, from what I understand, that was an individual who was back in the gym doing leg presses at 8 weeks post-op.
How rare of an occurrence is this? Anyone here had a FNF or know of an instance?
I think this would be good info to add here for those who are considering this life-changing surgery and those of us who have just had it done.
I didin't find a thread dedicated to this topic, so I thought I'd start one and see where it goes!
