Can the hip bone be fractured?

Fractures of the hip can be caused by external forces, especially in the elderly, who are prone to hip fractures of the femoral neck after a fall. Fractures of the femoral neck are prone to delayed bone healing, osteoconnection or femoral head necrosis due to poor local blood circulation. Most of the treatment can be surgical and total hip artificial joint replacement surgery can be performed. Young people are prone to intertrochanteric fracture after external force on the hip. They can be treated conservatively by traction and repositioning of the affected limb, using brace fixation at the same time to maintain the position of the fracture and prevent dislocation, and also taking Yunnan Baiyao, fracture contusion powder and bruising pills orally.
