Leahy has second surgery related to hip fracture - Roll Call

Senate Appropriations Chairman Patrick J. Leahy, D-Vt., underwent a second surgery Tuesday after fracturing his hip in a fall in late June.

Leahy, 82, underwent hip replacement surgery on June 30 after the fall, and his surgical team decided he needed a second surgery to aid his recovery, according to a statement Tuesday from Leahy’s office.

“Senator Leahy was back in his rehabilitation room by Tuesday evening and is once again working diligently with physical therapists to return home as soon as possible,” the statement said.
