Centenarian Herbert Schernhorst from Vienna fell in his apartment in mid-January last year and was unable to get up. The next day he was on the operating table. Here you can discover how he fought his way back to life despite his old age – after all, ten percent of affected seniors die in the first month after the fall.
The patient took a step towards his walker and fell into his apartment, where he still lives alone despite his age. He was in severe pain and could not get up. He called the emergency services using an emergency call button. The next day the operation on the femoral neck took place at the Ottakring Clinic in Vienna. It was still unclear whether the centenarian would make a full recovery.
