Dr. Mullis:
Even for an elderly patient with, what we call an osteoporotic fracture or a fracture of soft bone from a lower-energy injury, many times they need outpatient rehab or physical therapy to help them walk. They may need to learn to use a cane or crutches or a walker and that’s something the physical therapist helps work with a patient to gain their strength and their mobility back.
