When most people hear about a hip fracture in someone aged 80+, they immediately think of long hospital stays, painful recovery, and limited mobility. But what if an 86-Year-Old Walks Next Day After Hip Replacement? That’s exactly what happened at my orthopedic center in Indore.
An grandmother, despite having hip fracture, kidney disease, and heart problems, was able to stand and walk with support just 24 hours after surgery. This inspiring recovery proves that with modern orthopedic techniques and expert care, age is truly just a number.
🦴 What is a Hip Fracture in the patients above 60 years ?
Hip fractures (especially fracture neck of femur) are very common in patients above 60 years due to:
- Simple falls at home
- Weak bones from osteoporosis
- Loss of balance
Without treatment, patients often remain bedridden, leading to:
- Bed sores
- Chest infections
- Loss of muscle strength
- Depression in 60yr above patients
That’s why, in many cases, a hip replacement surgery is the safest and most effective solution—even at an advanced age.
⚕️ The Challenge: Age + Kidney & Heart Disease
Our patient, an 86-year-old grandmother from Bhopal, came to us with:
- Fracture neck of femur (hip fracture)
