A member asked:

Good evening dr. i have a quedtion about my broken acetabular. it was non surgey and my dr said i cant weightbear for 12 weeks. when can i play sports?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

4-6months: assuming you have a nondisplaced fracture, it can take at least three months to heal completely. Any type of sport that involves impact like running or jumping should be reserved until after the symptoms are completely gone and the bone has healed completely. Likely, 4 to 6 months after your original injury.
