This is  not my grandmother’s broken hip of some 65 years ago. She was 
never able to  live her real life again. They put a titanium rod in my femur and 
had me on my  feet the next day. >>>>
 
 
Broken hips in the elderly, especially women, used to be the  death-knell
for them in most cases.  I rotated through the Orthopedic Service  during
the first snowfall of the season in Minneapolis (internship) in a  busy
downtown hospital, and the number of these cases was appalling.
 
I have both hips replaced with titanium prostheses, and I can tell  you
that the pain will take its time in disappearing, but you will become
pain free in due time.
