Hip fracture- a serious injury which requires surgical repair or replacement, followed by physical therapy.
Causes
- Age - Older people can also have problems with vision and balance, which can increase the risk of falling.
- Gender- Hip fractures occur in women about three times more often than they do in men.
- Osteoporosis
- Other chronic medical conditions - overactive thyroid (lead to fragile bones) and Intestinal disorders (lead to weakened bones)
- Medical conditions - affect the brain and nervous system (cognitive impairment, dementia, Parkinson's disease, stroke and peripheral neuropathy).
- Low blood sugar
- Low blood pressure
- Certain medications-Cortisone medications, such as prednisone, can weaken bone if you take them long-term
- Nutritional problems. Lack of calcium and vitamin D in your diet when you're young lowers your peak bone mass and increases your risk of fracture.

- Inability to get up from a fall or to walk
- Severe pain in your hip or groin
- Inability to put weight on your leg on the side of your injured hip
- Bruising and swelling in and around your hip area
