The fracture is almost 4 weeks old now. Acetabulum fracture may take around 6 to 8 weeks for complete healing. The fracture appears undisplaced.. so it should heal without requiring surgery.
How is the pain at present..
Next Steps
I will suggest you to continue rest for 2 to 3 weeks more.. You can start with exercises while lying down.. Hip flexion, abduction, adduction. Acetabulum fractures have a high chance of secondary osteoarthritis of hip joint. You will require physiotherapy for extended time to bring back the joint movements to normal..
