Former US President Jimmy Carter has undergone surgery for a broken hip after falling at his home in Georgia, his office says.
The 94-year-old, the oldest living former US president, was on his way to go turkey hunting when he fell.
Mr Carter was recovering comfortably at a medical centre in Americus, near his home in Plains, with his wife, Rosalynn, a statement said.
His surgeon was quoted as saying that the operation was successful.
A Democrat from Georgia, Mr Carter was a relative unknown in the US political world when he was elected president in 1976. He served from 1977 to 1981.
