description In the elderly population, the proximal femoral fracture is a major health concern. Surgical treatment of this fracture, combined with postoperative physical therapy, is used to reduce morbidity. The primary goal of this study was to investigate tibial and femoral neck fractures. It was managed by physiotherapy post-operatively and had the patient perform activities of daily living with no resistance. In this case, a 45-year-old male patient was traveling when he was involved in a traffic accident, causing injury to his left lower limb. He was operated on with open reduction and internal fixation with a tibia interlocked nail for a segmental tibia fracture on the left side, as well as cannulated screw fixation for a femoral neck fracture. Physiotherapy management was done, focusing on his occupational needs and rehabilitation for the betterment of activities of daily living.
