Highlights & Basics
- Hip fractures occur predominantly in older people. The risk increases significantly with age.
- Associated most commonly with low-energy injury (e.g., fall from standing height) and osteoporosis or osteopenia.
- Treatment is most commonly surgical. The choice of implant depends on the fracture pattern and the surgeon's preference.
