Late last Friday, March 24, Chancellor Oral Roberts had surgery to repair a broken hip.

According to Jeremy Burton, director of Public Relations at ORU, Roberts fell Thursday night at his California home.

The 88-year-old Roberts had X-rays taken at a local hospital, which confirmed that he had broken his right hip. Doctors at a Newport Beach-area hospital placed one rod and two screws in the ORU founder's hip.

After visiting with his father on Friday, ORU president Richard Roberts said, "Dad's spirits are great. The doctors say it was a clean break and they are confident he will make a complete recovery."
