A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need info to answer: You need to make sure you follow your surgeons recommendations on the hip precautions he or she recommends. Remove through rugs from the floors. Use your walker or can or crutches and do not carry anything that gets you off balance. The complete recommendations depend on your type of fracture, the stability & type of fixation used by your surgeon, and how far along your are in your healing.
