Fracture due to falling is one of the most common injuries among the elderly. About 40% of the individuals who are admitted to hospitals because of a fall injury are older. Falling increases the chances of falling again, and thus it is vital to find the underlying issue by visiting an orthopedist and getting complete care.

At Kauvery Hospital, we have the best orthopaedic doctors who are well experienced in the field. Here is our patient, Mr. S N Pai, who overcame a hip fracture at Kauvery Hospital, and he shares with us his experience.
