What Duration Of Rehabilitation Is Necessary For The Elderly After Arthroplasty?
Hi Dr. Siegel, My 91 year old mom had surgery this morning. She fell and fractured her hip. She has a titanium rod inserted in to her femor. Will she be on a blood thinner now that she has the rod in her leg? How long of a rehab is usual for a 91 year old? Thank you for your consideration. Anni
