Does sitting count as weight bearing for a fractured neck of femur?

For patients with femoral neck fractures, sitting is not considered to be weight bearing. Sitting is not considered to be weight-bearing after a fracture of the femoral neck because the force is mainly on the sit bones and not on the hip joint. However, after standing, the hip joint area will be under pressure, which is considered as weight bearing. However, sitting is not recommended in the early stage of femoral neck fracture, because the lower limbs will bear a certain force when sitting, which will lead to a little force on the fracture site of the femoral neck, and will affect the recovery of the fracture. After one month of fracture, the fracture end has original bone scab growth and can bear little force after it is relatively stable, so the patient can sit and move after one month, and the sitting time should not be too long to avoid prolonged pressure on the femoral neck area, which will affect the fracture recovery.
