Pelvic fractures usually take 6 to 8 weeks to attempt sitting up, but the exact time varies from person to person.

How long can a pelvic fracture sit?

Pelvic fractures vary in type and severity. For minor fractures, recovery may be relatively quick, and with proper treatment and rest, sitting may occur in about 6 weeks; for complex conditions such as severe comminuted fractures, recovery may take longer, and it may take 8 weeks or more to attempt sitting up. Surgical and non-surgical treatments also affect recovery. Surgery can better reduce and fix the fracture site, help early recovery, but it also needs a certain time to heal after surgery; non-surgical treatment requires longer braking, and the time to sit up will be delayed accordingly. But everyone's physical condition, age, nutritional status, etc. are different.
