Accident and hospitalization
Argentine actress Soledad Silveyra, 74, was admitted to the Otamendi Sanatorium in Buenos Aires after suffering a fall at her home that caused a hip injury. According to information released about her condition, she is under medical observation and is in good spirits. The accident occurred while she was alone in her residence, as reported by Noticias Argentinas.[S1]
After the fall, Silveyra contacted her son Facundo to ask for help and was later transferred to the health center in the city, where doctors determined she had a fracture. It has not yet been confirmed whether she will need surgery. Medical professionals are evaluating her progress, and she could be discharged in the coming hours, although she will need to continue with rest and medical check-ups.[S1]
Details from the family circle
Journalist Pepe Ochoa revealed details on the program LAM, broadcast on América, that Silveyra had the accident the day before and broke her hip. He said that when he learned of the situation, he quickly contacted the actress's children. One of her sons confirmed that she is in the hospital room and already wants to leave.[S2]
According to the family circle, the artist could be discharged on Tuesday. They also assured that she is in good spirits, will not need an operation, but will have a long rest to recover in the best way. The new injury adds to a physical problem she has been dealing with for several months.[S2]
Previous health issues
In August, Silveyra had said she suffered from trochanteritis, which caused severe pain in the hip area and difficulty walking, a situation that also forced her to temporarily step away from the stage. She had explained that this condition began after a previous fall during a trip and that, as a result, she suffered a lumbar fracture.[S1]
In recent weeks, she had publicly expressed her desire to recover in order to return to work and resume her theatrical activity. Now, the actress will have to face a new period of recovery due to the fall at her home. For now, she remains hospitalized at the Otamendi, and her evolution will determine when she can return home.[S1]
Understanding trochanteritis
In various interviews, Soledad Silveyra has revealed that she suffers from trochanteritis and that this causes her severe pain. Doctor Capuya explained what this health problem consists of, pointing out that the femur has a protrusion called the trochanter, where certain tendons are inserted. A direct impact on that area can trigger a highly uncomfortable condition.[S2]
The doctor emphasized that it is the inflammation of the bursa, the sac that protects the joint, and that it is very painful. When the person is sitting and stands up, it hurts, and when walking, it hurts. The professional brought reassurance regarding the paths to follow to combat the ailments that limit the interpreter's mobility, mentioning physiotherapy and local corticosteroids as possible options.[S2]
