What is Fracture in Pelvis, femur, Hip?

A hip fracture occurs when the upper part of the femur is broken. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint: the rounded top of the femur, called the femoral head, fits snugly into a cup-shaped area of the pelvis, called the acetabulum.

Symptoms include an aching pain in the hip or groin that usually gets worse during movement or exercise, but tends to persist even during periods of rest. Some people may also experience swelling or tenderness in the skin surrounding the affected bone.

Serious complications can result from a hip fracture. Blood clots can happen in the veins, usually in your legs. If a clot breaks off, it can travel to a blood vessel in your lung. This blockage, called a pulmonary embolism, can be fatal.

What causes Hip and pelvic fractures?

Hip and pelvic fractures are also frequently caused by traumatic injuries from a car accident or a fall from a significant height. In New York, injuries often occur when cars hit pedestrians as they cross the street. X-rays and other diagnostic tests can confirm whether a fracture is displaced or nondisplaced.

Osteoporosis is the leading cause of hip fracture. Age is also a major risk factor. Other possible risk factors for hip fracture may include, but are not limited to, the following: Excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption.

Weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, help maintain peak bone density. Exercise also increases overall strength, decreasing the risk of falling. Balance training also is important to reduce the risk of falls since balance tends to deteriorate with age..
