physical issues caused by pain, limited movement, and muscle weakness following surgery. Early mobilization is recommended in nursing practice to accelerate functional recovery, prevent complications associated with immobility, and strengthen muscles. Objective: To describe the implementation of early mobilization as a measure to prevent impaired physical mobility in an individual following surgery for a left femoral neck fracture. Methods: This study employed a case study design using a nursing care approach, encompassing assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The research subject was a patient who had undergone surgery for a left femoral neck fracture. An early mobilization intervention was administered over three days (3 × 8 hours) in accordance with standard operating procedures. Data collection involved physical examination, observation, interviews, documentation, and evaluation of the patient's progress. Results: Prior to the intervention, the individual exhibited impaired physical mobility characterized by limited movement of the left extremity and reduced muscle strength. Following the gradual implementation of early mobilization, there was an improvement in muscle strength and mobility, accompanied by a reduction in physical activity limitations. Conclusion: Early mobilization has a positive impact on improving physical mobility in individuals following surgery for a left femoral neck fracture. This intervention can serve as an evidence-based nursing strategy to support the functional recovery of post-operative patients.
