The purpose of our study is to present some general aspects regarding approach to the therapeutic path in the case of the hip prosthesis following a trauma to the lower limb and femoral neck fracture in the elderly. This surgery seems quite easy nowadays, when the surgical techniques are a real progress in terms of means of investigation and treatment. However, the approach must be taken on a case-bycase basis. To understand the pathophysiological mechanisms and the application of the therapeutic means in hip prosthesis, we will present a case study in which we will apply specific kinetic means to post-surgical recovery.
