A broken hip, or hip fracture, is a serious injury involving a break in the femur, the thigh bone, near the hip joint. This type of fracture typically occurs in the upper part of the femur and is most common in older adults, especially those with weakened bones due to osteoporosis. Hip fractures can result from low-impact events such as a fall from standing height or direct trauma to the hip area. They are categorized into different types based on their location and pattern, including femoral neck fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, and subtrochanteric fractures. Symptoms of a broken hip include severe pain in the hip or groin area, inability to move the leg, swelling or bruising around the hip, and a noticeable change in the position of the leg, which may appear shorter and rotated outward. Immediate medical attention is necessary to diagnose the fracture and plan treatment.
Treatment for a broken hip usually involves surgical intervention to realign the fractured bone and stabilize it with hardware such as screws, plates, or an intramedullary rod. Surgery is often followed by a period of rehabilitation to help the patient regain strength, mobility, and function. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in recovery, focusing on exercises to improve balance, strength, and flexibility. In addition to surgical treatment, pain management, and weight-bearing restrictions are typically part of the recovery process. Addressing underlying conditions such as osteoporosis with medications or lifestyle changes can help prevent future fractures. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential for monitoring recovery and ensuring optimal outcomes.
