Hip Fracture
A neck of femur fracture (also called a hip fracture) Is a break in the upper part of the thigh bone (femur) just below the ball of the hip joint. This injury is most common in older adults after a fall, but can also occur in younger people after high-impact trauma, or as stress fractures from repetitive minor trauma.
Tibial Plateau Fracture
