What is the recovery time from broken hip surgery?

Recovery time from a broken hip, or the surgery to repair one, varies hugely depending on a number of factors. Recovery time can range from 6 weeks to a year, depending on the condition and age of the patient, severity of the injury and the invasiveness of the surgery required to repair it. Preexisting conditions can greatly affect the recovery time, with conditions such as osteoporosis and cancer often being the root cause of a hip fracture as well as drastically lengthening the time needed for the body to heal. Most patients recover full functionality within six to eight months.
