When someone says an elderly person broke her hip, it is most likely that the injury occurred in a fall. Falls are common among older adults due to factors such as decreased balance, muscle strength, and bone density. Hip fractures often happen when an elderly person slips or trips, leading to significant health complications and a longer recovery period.
