What is a hip fracture?*
A hip fracture is a break in the upper part of the thighbone (femur), which fits into the socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint. Most hip fractures occur in the femoral neck region and the intertrochanteric region, the area just below this.
See Healthwise for additional information on hip fracture.
