[2] Symptoms may include pain around the hip, particularly with movement, and shortening of the leg. [2] Usually the person cannot walk. [3] A hip fracture is usually a femoral neck fracture.
The Thompson and Epstein classification is a system of categorizing posterior fracture/dislocations of the hip. [1] [2 ... with a fracture of the femoral head: See also
The Garden classification is a system of categorizing intracapsular hip fractures of the femoral neck. This fracture often disrupt the blood supply to the femoral head . British orthopaedic surgeon Robert Symon Garden [ fr ] described a classification system for this type of fracture, referred to as the Garden classification and consisting of ...
A femoral fracture is a bone fracture that involves the femur. They are typically sustained in high-impact trauma, such as car crashes , due to the large amount of force needed to break the bone.

The Evans–Jensen classification is a system of categorizing intertrochanteric hip fractures based on the fracture pattern of the proximal femur. Classification
In the published work, fifty-six patients were treated for subtrochanteric fractures, and their fractures were "classified according to the number of major fragments and the locations and shapes of the fracture lines." This system of classification was used to assess the correlation between type of fracture and success of treatment. [1]
