Can an acetabular fracture be treated conservatively in a wheelchair?

Conservative treatment of acetabular fractures is best done after 2 to 3 months in a wheelchair, during which time it is best to stay in bed. Most acetabular fractures can be treated conservatively. For the first 2 to 3 months of conservative treatment, it is still necessary to maintain the bed rest position as much as possible. Movements such as getting out of bed and sitting in a wheelchair may cause the fracture to be displaced again, which may affect the healing of the fracture, among other things. The acetabulum is an important structure that maintains the hip joint. Conservative treatment of acetabular fracture is mainly to maintain the stability of the acetabulum and prevent the fracture from being displaced again. Therefore, in the early stage of fracture healing, you should try to rest in bed and do some rehabilitation exercises in bed. It is important to avoid the complications such as crashing pneumonia and lower extremity venous thrombosis caused by long term bed rest.
