Whether a hip fracture is serious or not cannot be generalized and depends on the situation. There are two types of fractures that are often referred to as hip fractures: femoral neck fractures and greater trochanter fractures. First, femoral neck fractures are generally more serious. Femoral neck fractures are divided into type I, type II, type III and type IV, of which type I and type II are less significantly displaced and treated by conservative treatment or surgery. Generally, the fracture can heal, but the risk of femoral head necrosis also reaches more than 70%, so the femoral neck fracture is also very heavy. For type III and type IV, more than 90% of the femoral head will be necrotic whether treated conservatively or surgically, so femoral neck fractures are overall serious. For intertrochanteric fractures, most of them can be healed by conservative treatment or surgery, and more than 90% of them can be restored to normal, but there is a certain risk of femoral head necrosis. Therefore, the severity of hip fracture cannot be generalized, but is determined by different types of fractures.
