Hip Fracture

Hip Fracture

A Hip Fracture refers to a break in the upper part of the femur (thigh bone), typically occurring near the hip joint. This type of fracture is more common in older adults and is often associated with osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones. Hip fractures usually result from a fall or direct trauma. The most common types include femoral neck fractures and intertrochanteric fractures. Symptoms include severe pain, inability to bear weight on the affected leg, and leg rotation. Treatment typically involves surgical intervention, such as hip pinning or hip replacement, depending on the fracture type and patient factors. Surgery aims to stabilize the fracture, relieve pain, and restore mobility. Rehabilitation, including physical therapy, is crucial for regaining strength and function. Hip fractures can have significant implications for older adults, impacting mobility and independence. Preventive measures, including maintaining bone health, ensuring a safe environment, and addressing factors contributing to falls, are essential in reducing the risk of hip fractures in susceptible populations.
