The Effects of a Broken Hip
A broken hip comes with numerous health risks – even for young, heathy adults. The hip joint plays a naturally pivotal role in your ability to walk and move, so a break can be immobilizing. Such fractures usually require surgical repair and sometimes a partial or full hip replacement. A broken hip often comes with several serious complications:
Decreased independence
Complications with long-term mobility
Weakened bones and joints
Decreased lifespan for older sufferers
