A member asked:
When a 85 year old woman falls over and as a hip replacement, how long before she's better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
85 THA: It depeds upon the personality of the fracture, and if she has a total hip or not. Size of patient, soft tissue and boney quality, health of the patient are important as well. Generally 6-12 weeks to heal.
