Abstract

Hip fractures in the elderly are usually caused by low-energy trauma, such as a fall from standing. These fractures involve the femoral neck or the intertrochanteric region of the proximal femur. Timely surgical intervention provides superior outcomes. Newer fracture fixation implants and improved design of prosthetic replacements have contributed to progress in the management of these fractures. However, post-fracture osteoporosis evaluation by the primary care physician is equally important.
