Hello I have just fractured my femur

Hi all,

Not sure if this forum is still active. I’m 30 years old and broke my femur neck last summer while cycling in the beautiful hills of Tuscany while on holidays (originally from The Netherlands). Got surgery in Italy and they fixed me up with 3 cannulated screws right into the head of the femur. Now I am 16 weeks post operation, and 10 weeks load bearing/excersising. Back to work and ‘normal life’ also on the bike. I still feel my mobility is quite reduced in the injured leg and while doing stretches I notice pain in the groin area. My fysiotherapist tells me I should not worry too much until half a year post op, however I am a bit concerned about the possibility of AVN (although my fracture was not severely displaced and doctors tell me not to worry). How long have you guys been experiencing groin discomfort and how many months post-op did you feel fully recovered?

Im hoping to ride Liege-Bastogne-Liege next year April, and want to start more heavy training soon…

Thanks for all your experiences btw, helped me a lot while being in the hospital!

Regards,

Thomas
