Prognosis
Hip fractures are very dangerous episodes especially for
elderly and frail patients. The risk of dying from the stress
of the surgery and the injury in the first few days is about
10%.[citation needed] If the condition is untreated the pain and
immobility imposed on the patient increase that risk.
Prevention
Ideally, one can prevent hip fractures in the elderly in the
first place. People who have broken a hip also have a
good chance of falling again. You can help by making sure
your loved one's home environment is safe, as well as
seeing that she stays as healthy as possible.

You can break your hip at any age, but the great majority
of hip fractures occur in people older than 65. As you age,
your bones slowly lose minerals and become less dense.
