Hello Anon

Thank you for writing!

A serious pelvic fracture is likely to need lengthy physical therapy and rehabilitation, including exercises you will do at home. A physical therapist will outline these, based on your personal situation. Rest will also be required.

A less serious fracture will require the same kind of treatment but perhaps with less intensity.

Recovery times also depend on what other damage you experienced, particularly to the nerves that go to your legs, your age, and health.

Your orthopedic surgeon/specialist can help you further. Good luck!

Best,
Susan
