The paper presents a clinical case of treatment in an elderly (96-years-old) female patient (born
on June 2, 1923), who was injured at home when falling from a height on her left hip. After the injury, she
was admitted to a city clinical hospital, where she underwent left hip joint computed tomography. Surgical
treatment was not performed because of high risks. The patient stayed in hospital for 16 days, whereupon she
was discharged to continue outpatient treatment. The patient suffered from persistent pain in the left hip
joint and spent much time in the supine position, which increased the risk of hypodynamia and pulmonary
complications. Following a month, the patient’s relatives applied on their own to the N.N. Priorov National
Medical Research Center for Traumatology and Orthopedics, Ministry of Health of Russia. After being examined
and prepared for surgery, the patient underwent total left hip arthroplasty. To prevent and rule out
postoperative infectious complications and to optimize the early postoperative period, the patient was
prescribed the immunomodulator thymalin and human immunoglobulin. The postoperative wound was treated with
an antiseptic sodium hypochlorite solution. The patient was up walking on a walker on day 2 after her
operation. The wound healed by primary intension after surgical treatment; the shortening of the left lower
limb was eliminated; and the range of motion in the left hip joint improved. The patient was discharged from
the hospital on day 7 for outpatient treatment.
