Our user asked: "I tried searching the site but did not find anything. Is there PT you can recommend after femoral intramedullary nailing. This happened Sept 13, 2013. Thank you"

Ask a PT Response: "It is going to vary among patients. Here is a great article that has a case study pertaining to your condition. It contains a sample rehab program for a patient that was cleared for weight bearing (PO = post op in the article). Definitley consult with your surgeon or PT prior to performing any new exercise or activity. Best of luck with your rehab. http://ptjournal.apta.org/content/86/4/558.full.pdf+html - http://ptjournal.apta.org/content/86/4/558.full.pdf+html "
