With a fractured femur, you can usually sit up on day 2 with prompt surgery. However, with conservative treatment, you can sit up in about 3 weeks.
If the femoral head fracture is close to the hip joint, and the patient is young and in better physical condition, usually choose conservative treatment, the treatment effect and recovery are better, and you can sit up in about 3 weeks.
If the patient is elderly and not as physically fit as young people, it is recommended to choose artificial hip conversion surgery, which has faster recovery and can sit up on the 2nd day after surgery.
During the treatment of femoral head fracture, you should go to the hospital regularly to take pictures for review, to clarify the fracture healing situation, appropriate activities, and functional exercises under the guidance of the doctor. When getting out of bed early, it is best to get down on crutches for activities and functional exercises, so as not to affect the fracture healing.
