What is the normal recovery time for a broken hip for a 14-year-old?

Recovery for hip fracture is not based on age and can take from two months to a year, according to a MedlinePlus. Most people stay in the hospital for three to five days. The type of surgery an individual has is dependant on the type of hip fracture that occurs.

When a person has surgery for a fractured hip, movement and walking following surgery is encouraged, states MedlinePlus. An assistive walking aid such as a walker is necessary to avoid putting too much weight on the injured hip. Special exercises are done to improve the strength in the leg and improve blood flow.
