A hip fracture is a painful and troublesome type of injury. Often, surgery is required after a hip fracture. Doctors may need to insert a metal rod in your hip, or even replace your hip with an artificial one.
Even if your hip bone will eventually mend on its own, you are likely to need bed rest for some time. You will need replacement for wages that you are not earning while you are off your feet. You may need durable medical equipment, such as a cane, a walker or a wheel chair to use temporarily or permanently, depending on the severity of the injury.
You may deal with ongoing, chronic pain with its own complications. You may be disabled for a long period of time — and may not be able to return to your previous line of work (if you were a construction worker, for example). You may be at risk of a blood clot forming. If you are elderly, your life may be at risk, since complications from hip fractures often hasten death among older people.
