A Hip Fracture Recovery Guide for Patients & Families
A hip fracture is a life changing event. It is the role of your healthcare team to give you the best care possible while you are in the hospital but what about when it is time to go home? For many, it can be a challenging time for the person recovering and for caregivers who want to provide the best help possible.
