Can you sit in bed with a fractured neck of femur?

Femoral neck fracture should not be lying in bed sitting, absolute bed rest, can not sit up, if the artificial replacement has been carried out, three or four days after the operation can sit up. If the fracture of the neck of the femur can not be completed within 24 hours of the operation, skin traction or tibial tuberosity traction, contraction training of the quadriceps muscle, ankle, toe dorsiflexion and extension activities, can not sit up. Surgical treatment of femoral neck fracture generally use hollow nail internal fixation, if you sit up too soon, may make the internal fixation loose, affecting the healing of the fracture, it is recommended to bed rest for 3 months, and then practice sitting up appropriately. If you have artificial femoral head replacement or total hip replacement, you can sit up on the third or fourth day after surgery. If the fracture is diagnosed as femoral neck fracture, it is recommended to have standardized treatment as early as possible to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
