A pelvic fracture may require several weeks or a few months, depending on its severity. After initial treatment, it will need lots of care to fully recover and get back to normal. This requires certain steps to ensure a fast and safe recovery. One thing that is commonly advised is to keep weight off of your hips.

Walking increases the weight and pressure that your hips must carry, so it would not perfectly cater to optimal recovery. One purpose of crutches is to keep weight off of your hips and it is often used after a pelvic fracture. It is generally not a good idea to walk with a fractured pelvis because that may cause complications, increased pain, and a slower recovery. The best option is to speak to your doctor about what is and is not recommended following your accident so that you can recover in the best way possible.
