If you are using walker then there is no issue as you are only partial weight on the limbs. you can wear MCR Chappals inside the house/ socks inside the house. MCR chappals can be used to feel relaxed when you walk or stand as the body weight will get distributed evenly and it will cause less impact ie. less weight on the hip joint.

It usually takes 3 months for a fracture to unite. Kindly confirm fracture union by X ray before you discard the walker. Do knee bending exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist.
