5. The inability to move knee or hip on the affected side is a femur fracture symptom.
Your joints are stiff, so movement will be impossible. It is best to use a wheelchair since you’re unable to move your knee or hip. It is not a good idea to try to force your knee and hip to move because you can more damage. If you don’t need surgery, you may have to have it.
Wait until you see a physical therapist who will get you where you’re able to move your hip and knee again. It will take time, but the more sessions you have, the stronger the knee and hip will become.
Since your hip and knee are immobile you don’t want to go anywhere without your wheelchair. You can easily fall without it. You’ll cause damage to other parts of your body, including extra damage to your knee and hip area.
