Hello,
It looks from your details that your fiancé has suffered from broken hip about two yrs ago. Except severe trauma if there is history of broken hip then most probably such person may also be suffering from low bone mass.This is more true in case of old age person. If your fiancé is again had pop sound and having pain at her hip then most probably she may be suffering from frank or stress fracture at her hip. I will advice you to consult to your orthopedic doctor and get a x ray of affected hip.Till then I will advice to not to move her hip and better to have rest.You may give her an analgesic like paracetamol or aceclofenac 100mg for relief in pain.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
