Why are hip fractures in the elderly so deadly?
In: Biology
On top of what everyone else has said (which is mostly true). The hip bone is a very sturdy piece of gear. If that’s breaking easily, it’s a good sign your body in general is pretty fragile. It’s not a coincidence that you rarely hear of people under 60 with a hip fracture.
A broken hip is a sign that your body is failing in other ways.
