I have a 93 year old friend who had this same surgery 4 weeks ago and her family feels that she should be out traveling and taking car trips resuming activities as before, without a doctor order I might add. She is unable to stand by herself and use a walker without assist. I would hate to see her re-fracture the hip or develop necrosis.

Femoral Neck Fractures and Three Screws
If it was exactly this surgery the usual recovery time is between 4 to 6 weeks to start the support, of course due to your age this can last a little longer because the bone quality is not the same as a young adult. It almost always deserves a therapy with supervision and gradual support of the extremities. There should not be any problem when starting to walk from 6 weeks with a walker, of course if there was never damage to the circulation of the head should not evolve into a necrosis of the femoral head. Any doubt you can contact me through my instagram and whatsapp friend. Thank you for your comment and greetings @marymg2014

@drmaizo Thank you for your response I want the best for my 93 year old friend. Knowing her family has taken her out putting her in a car 2 weeks post-op without her surgeons approval is upsetting. Your comments confirm that she needs to heal before she is "out of the woods".
