#hip fracture

[finnnothuman]

Had my follow up on my hip today, completely cleared to return to the gym with no restrictions. I have bone growing behind the screws, but with exercise in stretching… should be good.

But purrrr took this while waiting for my ortho, body is coming. 🥳

When an elderly lady falls abs breaks her femur, what is the likelihood of her contracting pneumonia and dying? My grandmother fell and I'm just trying to have a decent understanding of what happens next - I don't think I'll get to meet her Dr and hear from them.

Sorry to hear about your grandma. How well she does really depends on her age, her health before she broke her femur, and her ability to participate in rehab.

I’ve seen numbers as high as 50% mortality rate in the first 6 months after injury in people over 65 [1]. I think that estimate is probably a bit high, but there is definitely a risk there.  Of course those deaths aren’t just from pneumonia. They’re also things like blood clots, wound infections, heart attacks, etc. The chances of death from any cause after a traumatic hip fracture increases with increasing age and with addition of other co-morbidities (other chronic or acute illnesses) [2]. I’m not sure about numbers for fractures farther down on the femur. These numbers are for hip (femoral head/neck) fractures.

How did you break your hip?

I was a competitive gymnast when I was young (alongside the dancing, swimming, kickboxing, and fucking everything else my parents made me do), and I actually adored it. I was learning this new link into a flip and my coach was helping me by showing me how my legs had to be. I was pretty pliable so generally he’d just shove my leg to the position it needed to be in, but I don’t know what the fuck was up on that day (perhaps I wasn’t warmed up enough, or goodness knows), but he did so and my hip cracked so loudly pretty much everyone stopped. I initially didn’t realise how bad it hurt until I tried to perform my next move, then my leg crumpled underneath me and it began hurting like hell. I went to hospital, x-ray everything, disbelief that I’d cracked the bone of my hip joint when I was only 13, and I essentially couldn’t dance/compete/do lots of shit for 6 months...

How to Get In and Out of the Car or SUV after a Hip Replacement or Total...

My Father in law is getting staples taken out today from leg & hip fractures. He fell in his home, two weeks ago, he had general anesthesia, emergency surgery. We are lucky he survived the 2 hour surgery at age 84. The doctors repaired the two fractures with rods and bolts.

My Hubby says this video is an awesome help for safety information getting to and from doctor appointments.

Thought I'd share it, in case anyone else has a similar issue.

Be safe,

Be well,

Cope with chaotic life, one hour at a time.

GLP-1 agonists may be protective against hip fracture in patients with type 2 diabetes

SAN DIEGO — GLP-1 agonists may be protective against hip fracture when administered for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, according to

Dr. Hagedorn went too far saying can instead of may as this study is not randomized and therefore is hypothesis generating not hypothesis confirming.
