How soon can I sit on the toilet after femoral neck fracture

There are different surgical treatments for femoral neck fractures, including internal fixation with a hollow nail and joint replacement surgery. The hollow nail internal fixation surgery is more solid, and you can sit in the toilet after the surgery without any major impact. During the whole process the fractured leg should never be stepped on the ground and do not allow the affected limb to be weight bearing. During the joint replacement surgery, due to the complication of possible dislocation after the surgery, bed rest is needed for a period of time before sitting and defecating, which is about 3-4 weeks. The soft tissues around the entire joint will heal more firmly and the likelihood of dislocation will be reduced. However, the specific recovery situation has a lot to do with the individual’s physical quality, and it does not happen overnight, but requires time to recover gradually.
