Hello!

Treatment of a hip fracture almost always requires surgery so check with your orthopedician. Avoid excessive movement of the pelvis till then.

Your age and any pathological condition like osteoporosis is important to understand.

In some cases, such as some stress fractures of the hip, or in patients who have severe medical problems that prevent surgical treatment, non operative treatment may be recommended. However, most all hip fractures are treated with surgery.

Limit movements and weight bearing and follow up with an orthopedician.

Take care!
