Prompt surgery for hip fractures and tendon tears

Does a broken hip always need surgery?

A broken hip almost always needs surgery, usually within 24 to 48 hours, to fix the bone with screws, a rod or a plate, or to replace the ball. Early surgery allows walking within a day or two, which lowers the risk of blood clots, pneumonia and loss of independence. A few stable stress fractures can heal without surgery.

A broken hip and a hamstring tendon pulled off the sit bone both heal far better when they are treated within days. Dr. Stride works quickly to diagnose these injuries, explains the options clearly to patients and families, and focuses on getting you safely back on your feet.
