The femoral neck fracture in the elderly is a major public health concern. Femoral neck fractures are a prevalent type of hip fracture that has a significant morbidity and mortality rate. As a result, the focus of this study is on physical therapy procedures for older individuals who have had their proximal femoral fractures surgically repaired. Physical therapy aids in the postoperative treatment of patients with proximal femoral fractures by increasing muscular strength, improving walking safety and performance, and understanding the patient's condition, allowing the elderly to become more independent. To avoid respiratory issues and other complications that result from immobility, it is critical for such patients to continue to stay orthostatic and walk as soon as possible, regardless of the nature of the fracture or the material used for fixation, though this is frequently not possible due to the patient's general health status. Introduction: This case study is focused on the treatment of a person with a femoral neck fracture. Femoral neck fractures are prevalent in the older population, reflecting a major cost of health insurance. Case Description: This is the case of 60 years old female who sustained a fracture of the neck of the femur after she meet with an accident. She underwent total hip arthroplasty. The patient was mesomorphic. Physical therapy rehabilitation provided care in ways including postoperative weight-bearing, gait training, improving the strength of quadriceps and hamstring muscles. Conclusion: According to the findings, the decisive surgical procedure and early physiotherapy rehabilitation contributed to the patient's functional goals progressing, which is an important understanding of a successful recovery.

Breast cancer has been the most common cancer in the United Kingdom since 1997, accounting for 31% of all new cancer diagnoses in women. The rate of new diagnoses among people over 40 years old rises fast, from under 1 per 100,000 in young adults to well over 400 per 100,000 in those over 85 years old (1). Breast cancer survival rates are improving as a result of breakthroughs in diagnosis and therapy, and cancer survivorship has emerged as a major focus in the cancer care continuum. (2). Cancer rehabilitation is defined as the process of aiding a patient in attaining the best level of physical, psychological, social, sexual, vocational, recreational, and economic functioning possible within the restrictions of the disease and therapy. (2). Pain, lymphedema, secondary malignancies, and sexual dysfunction are among the possible long-term physical repercussions of cancer (2). Fear and anxiety about return of cancer, sadness, and emotions of uncertainty and loneliness are all possible psychological consequences. (2). Changes in interpersonal connections, financial and health insurance concerns and difficulty returning to work or seeking employment owing to impairment are all examples of social impacts (2). Even though recent advancements in therapy have increased survival rates, they are also associated with considerable adverse effects (3). Breast cancer survival rates have increased as a result of breakthroughs in early detection procedures, followed by more tailored and/or aggressive therapy (3). Although breast cancer patients' rehabilitation has become a priority in recent years, additional research on the most effective sorts of therapies is still needed. (3).

Introduction: A calcaneal spur is a bony protrusion that occurs in the bottom section of the calcaneus, the most typical area for calcaneal spurs to grow, it is also known as a heel spur. Calcaneal spurs are frequently connected with plantar fasciitis-related heel pain. The calcaneus is an afoot skeleton component that provides posterior support for the foot's bony arches. The heel prominence is produced by the calcaneum, the largest, strongest, and longest of the seven tarsal bones. An osteophytic protrusion (calcaneal or heel spur or enthesophytes) extends throughout the whole breadth of the calcaneal tuberosity, for around 2-2.5 cm. The spur's peak is trapped by the plantar fascia, which is directly anterior to the spur's origin. Calcaneal spurs are asymptomatic unless they are manually activated and inflamed when they cause localized acute discomfort. A case of a heel spur in a 35-year-old woman is identified in this case study. The calcaneal spur was painful, which was associated with plantar fasciitis and impaired her foot function and the patient was treated conservatively. Discussion: The woman was diagnosed with a unilateral calcaneal spur in this situation, was middle-aged and had no chronic condition, so she was treated conservatively. This case contradicts the correlation between the duration of the calcaneal spur and the symptoms of plantar fasciitis. The causes that lead to this disorder are being overweight, training sports, straining feet. Conclusion: Physiotherapy aided by medical aids is the most sustainable process. Not every event, however, gives the expected results. Surgical therapy should be used if non-sustainable techniques are not possible. Key words: Heel pain, Plantar fasciitis, Physiotherapy, Calcaneal Spur, Middle-aged Patient.
