Most patients after hip surgery are kept on partial weight-bearing for 6 weeks. In theory, patients with cemented prostheses are capable of bearing full weight immediately after surgery. The cement has reached 90% of its strength some 10-15 minutes mixing.
However, if there is a concern of displacement of the stress fracture, then weight-bearing should be avoided (i.e. use crutches). Stress fractures of the hip are especially concerning, because if these fractures displace, surgery is mandatory, and long-term complications are a significant concern.
