 Treatment for a hip fracture usually involves surgery to repair the break.

'''Hip fracture''' is a serious injury that occurs when there is a break in the [[femur]] (thigh bone) near the [[hip joint]]. It is most commonly caused by [[falls]] or [[trauma]], and is particularly common in older people due to [[osteoporosis]].

==Causes==
Hip fractures are most often caused by a fall, particularly in older people. Other causes can include [[trauma]] such as a car accident, or a disease that weakens the bones, such as [[osteoporosis]] or [[cancer]].

==Symptoms==
The most common symptoms of a hip fracture include:
* Severe pain in the hip or groin
* Inability to move or lift the leg
* Swelling or bruising in the hip area
* Shortening of the leg or turning outward of the leg

==Diagnosis==
A hip fracture is usually diagnosed through a combination of physical examination and imaging tests. These can include [[X-ray]]s, [[CT scan]]s, or [[MRI]]s. In some cases, a [[bone scan]] may be used to identify stress fractures.

==Treatment==
Treatment for a hip fracture usually involves surgery to repair the break. This can involve using metal screws to hold the bone together ([[internal fixation]]), replacing part of the femur ([[partial hip replacement]]), or replacing the entire hip joint ([[total hip replacement]]). After surgery, [[physical therapy]] is often needed to help regain strength and mobility.

==Prevention==
Prevention of hip fractures involves reducing the risk of falls and treating underlying conditions that weaken the bone. This can include:
* Regular exercise to improve balance and strength
* Medication to treat osteoporosis
* Using assistive devices such as canes or walkers

==See also==
* [[Osteoporosis]]
* [[Fall prevention]]
