PF broke or fractured her pelvis as a yearling. She's absolutely fine now although her hips are wonky. I believe the prognosis generally is good although I suppose a lot will depend on the severity of the fracture

Depends on the severity as pf says but many completley recover.
Mine had a suspected fracture a couple of years back, He was kept cross tiedfor the first week to prevent him from lying down & being unable to get back up.
He was then box rested for some time before being allowed back out. He came sound but does occasionally show slight unevenness on near hind - but this can be worked through when schooling. Lots of pole work & a pessoa are invaluable for rebuilding muscles in recovery.
