Proximal femur fracture

A proximal femur fracture is a break near the top of the thigh bone, close to the hip joint. It commonly occurs in older adults after falls and can cause pain, difficulty walking, and mobility issues. The fracture may involve the area around the femoral neck or head, impacting hip stability. Treatment typically involves surgery to realign or replace the broken bone, followed by rehabilitation. Prompt diagnosis and management are important to reduce complications and improve recovery outcomes.
