ðïļ A single fall can change everything. On this episode of Bone Talk, BHOF CEO Claire Gill talks with orthopedic trauma surgeon Dr. Jaimo Ahn about the serious reality of hip fractures and why families need to stay informed, ask questions, and actively engage in care after a fall.
ðĶī When a hip breaks after a simple standing height fall, it is often a sign of underlying bone weakness. It is not just bad luck. It is a pivotal moment to take bone health seriously. Listen and learn about:
âĄïļ Why early mobility after surgery improves long term independence and recovery
âĄïļ What families should ask in the hospital
âĄïļ Why the first year after a fracture is the highest risk period for another break
âĄïļ Why a fracture from a simple fall is a warning sign and what to do next
ðĶī Dr. Ahn reminds patients that healing is not just about fixing a fracture. It is about preserving quality of life.
