As a 74 yo who has suffered 2 non operable hip fractures in the past 2 years, I have acquired some knowledge that might be useful, especially to seniors. The break that happens is because the hip was torqued and the “ball and socket” in the hip breaks, then the fall happens. Make a fist with one hand and insert it into you other hand making a cup shape. Twist the ball and let the fingers of the cupped hand spread. The solution is about 6 weeks of no weight bearing. A skilled nursing facility is needed for that and the physical therapy which follows.
