The pertrochanteric femoral fracture is a highly common kind of femoral fracture. It is generally the consequence of a fall. A high-energy mechanism, such as a motor vehicle accident, is more likely to cause Pertrochanteric fractures in 16-30 year age group people. A 45year old man had a history of a bike crash that resulted in a pertrochanteric fracture of the right hip 2 years back, for which he was operated. The patient right now came to the AVBRH with the complaint of right hip discomfort and edema after surgery and was referred for physiotherapy. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a pathological condition that occurs when the blood supply to the bone is cut off, and it is a common consequence of fractures, dislocations, and other injuries and especially occurs in adult post road traffic accidents.
