Depends: Depends how long ago. Sitting for long periods if time with a fx will cause excess swelling and can potentially lead to other problems such as blood clots. Consult your doctor.

Maybe: You don't say how old the fxs are or if you are still in a cast or other immobilization. If you are immobilized it would be dangerous and possible set up for dvt. Also you won't be able to elevate if there is any swelling.
