Hello Falls in elderly aren't really great. Considering his age,you must see an orthopedic and get an x-ray done for the hip/pelvis/thigh for these bones are highly susceptible to fractures even after trivial trauma.
Health Tips
kindly consult the orthopedic ASAP so things canve diagnosed at earliest and treated, also to reduce the morbidity.
