What to do if you have a hip fracture

A fracture of the hip bone usually refers to a fracture of the bones surrounding the hip, such as the ilium, sacrum, or sit bones. If a single bone is fractured, it is usually a stable fracture and the dislocation is not very obvious. In this case, the fracture can heal clinically after 6-8 weeks of bed rest, and you can start to walk on the ground and do functional exercises. However, in the case of multiple hip fractures, the fracture ends are relatively unstable and the entire pelvis is displaced upward, it is necessary to fix the fracture with bone traction of the lower extremity so that the bone can grow slowly after it is reset. Alternatively, the fracture can be treated by internal fixation with a surgical incision and plate.
