Proximal femoral fractures, or fractures that occur in the upper part of the femur bone, can cause significant pain, discomfort, and mobility issues. A femur neck fracture is one of the types of proximal femoral fractures, and it occurs when there is a break in the neck of the femur bone, which
A subcapital fracture is a break in the neck of the femur, which is the part of the bone that connects the head of the femur to the shaft of the femur. An intertrochanteric fracture is a break in the trochanters, which are the two large bony protrusions on the upper end of the femur. Subcapital
Proximal femoral fractures, also known as hip fractures, are common injuries that affect older adults, especially women. These fractures involve the upper part of the femur, which includes the femoral head, the femoral neck, the intertrochanteric region, and the femoral shaft. The most common type
A proximal femoral fracture is a break in the upper part of the thighbone, also known as the femur. This type of fracture can be caused by a fall, a car accident, or a direct blow to the hip. Proximal femoral fractures are most common in older adults, especially those with osteoporosis. Symptoms
