My ex-step-father had one a few years back (in his early 50's - eek!) because he broke his but I'm afraid I don't know that much of the detail. I do know that he was mobile again within a couple or few weeks, but I think there are a lot of individual circumstances to take into account e.g. general fitness of patient, pre-existing conditions (lots of them in my step-father's case, including osteoporosis and an absent pituitary gland thanks to a tumour on it some years before).

I imagine there are support groups in the States that can provide more detailed information as anything I could provide this end would pertain to treatment in the UK.

Hope all goes well, and keep us posted on your Mom's progress - must be pretty draining on your resources too, so if we can be of any help, don't hesitate to call on us for support. xxx
