When a 85 year old woman falls over and as a hip replacement how long before shes better?


a woman fell over broken a hip bone....she is 85 years..she just had a operation hip replacement..how long does it take for her to be up and walking un aided

depends how bad it is and what kind of health she is in, its best for her if she gets up as soon as possible so she starts rebuilding her muscles, my aunt took many months to get even half way close to normal, she was about 70 when it happened
