The control group received routine orthopedic rehabilitation, with weight-bearing initiated 4 weeks postoperatively, whereas the intervention group additionally received a standardized early weight-bearing program beginning 2\u20133 days after surgery. Outcomes including hip function, pain, quality of life, exercise adherence, Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores, and weight-bearing duration were assessed at baseline, one day before discharge, and one month after discharge.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Baseline characteristics did not differ significantly between the two groups.
