Hello Diwakar Ji,

Thank you for your query. An intertrochanteric fracture (a type of hip fracture common in older adults) typically requires surgical treatment, such as internal fixation with a plate, screw, or intramedullary nail. The good news is that this condition is covered under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY)—but only if your ABHA card is linked to Ayushman eligibility.

Is Intertrochanteric Fracture Covered in ABHA?

• The ABHA card (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) is not an insurance card by itself.

• However, if you are a PM-JAY beneficiary (Ayushman cardholder) and your ABHA card is linked, then treatment for an intertrochanteric fracture is covered under the scheme.

Treatment Coverage Includes:

• Hospitalization expenses

• Surgery (internal fixation/ORIF)

• Implants and prosthetics (as per standard Ayushman packages)

• Post-operative care and medications during hospital stay

How to Confirm Eligibility Under Ayushman Bharat and Get Treated?

1. Visit a PM-JAY empanelled hospital in Navi Mumbai

2. Carry your ABHA card, Aadhaar card, and previous X-rays or medical records

3. Hospital’s Ayushman help desk will verify your eligibility

4. If approved, treatment will be cashless

Hi Ashraf,

Thank you for your question.

The recovery time after fissure surgery varies slightly based on individual healing and the nature of your work.

✅ Most people can return to office work within 3 to 5 days after surgery, especially if the job is desk-based and doesn't involve heavy physical activity.
✅ If your work involves physical labour or prolonged sitting, you may need about 7–10 days for a more comfortable recovery.
✅ It's important to keep the area clean, follow your doctor's post-op care instructions, and avoid constipation to promote healing.
✅ Pain and mild discomfort can last a few days but are usually manageable with medications and a sitz bath.

It's best to consult your surgeon, who can give you the most accurate advice based on your healing progress and work requirement.
