Kinesiophobia is an irrational and debilitating fear of physical movement and activity resulting from a feeling of vulnerability to painful injury or re-injury. According to the concept of avoidance of fear, pain is interpreted as threatening, which can trigger pain-related fears and anxiety leading to avoidance behavior. Avoidance action involves a process/period characterized by a person stepping back from undertaking daily tasks like exercise, socializing, and work, which increases the intensity of the painful experience. In hospital settings, kinesiophobia needs to be resolved to ensure a positive result in rehabilitation interventions. The femur is the lower extremity's primary weight-bearing bone. Early fracture fixation in the shaft of the femur allows for early mobilization, thereby reducing the risk of hip and knee stiffness as well as quadriceps and hamstring wasting.  In this report, we present the case of a 16-year-old girl with an alleged history of fall who was admitted to Acharya Vinobha Bhave Rural Hospital (AVBRH), Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences (DMIMS) Deemed To Be University (DU), Wardha, India, with primary complaints of pain and swelling over the left thigh. She was diagnosed with a left midshaft femur fracture. An open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) femur interlock nailing was performed to stabilize the fracture, and she was referred to physiotherapy after surgery for further management. The comprehensive rehabilitation program was helpful in alleviating the severe kinesiophobia in the patient, and she was able to resume her activities of daily living (ADLs) independently.
