[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Physical therapist for 20 years here. A hip fracture is very different than an elective hip replacement. Unless he had severe mobility issues, I would vote home. And like PP mentioned, rehab may not be covered. I would guess less than 10% of patients currently go to rehab after a hip fracture.[/quote] Right. Hip replacement VERY different from breaking a hip/hip fracture. My 78 year old dad just had his hip replaced two weeks ago. Spent one night (after surgery) in hospital and then went home. Moved to bedroom on first floor but otherwise hobbling around okay. [/quote]
