  2. Femoral fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_fracture

    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. Fractures of the diaphysis , or middle of the femur, are managed differently from those at the head, neck, and trochanter ; those are conventionally ...

  3. Hip fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_fracture

    The prognosis of untreated hip fractures is very poor. [citation needed] However, most people who suffer a hip fracture are of relatively low risk of early mortality as deaths are concentrated in a numerically smaller, higher risk group. There are scoring tools available, such as the Nottingham Hip Fracture Score that can provide an estimate of ...

  4. Osteoporosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoporosis

    Hip fractures are responsible for the most serious consequences of osteoporosis. In the United States, more than 250,000 hip fractures annually are attributable to osteoporosis. [189] A 50-year-old white woman is estimated to have a 17.5% lifetime risk of fracture of the proximal femur. The incidence of hip fractures increases each decade from ...

  5. Avascular necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avascular_necrosis

    Doctors discovered Jackson to have lost all of the cartilage supporting his hip while he was undergoing tests following a hip injury he had on the field during a 1991 NFL Playoff game. [29] Avascular necrosis of the hip was also identified in a routine medical check-up on quarterback Brett Favre following his trade to the Green Bay Packers in ...

  6. Hip dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_dislocation

    Complications of hip dislocation that impact prognosis include post-traumatic arthritis, femoral head osteonecrosis, femoral head fracture, neurovascular injury, and recurrent dislocation. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Post-traumatic arthritis is the most common long-term complication and happens in 20% of hip dislocations, having higher rates among complex ...

  7. Pelvic fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_fracture

    Pelvic fractures make up around 3% of adult fractures. [1] Stable fractures generally have a good outcome. [1] The risk of death with an unstable fracture is about 15%, while those who also have low blood pressure have a risk of death approaching 50%. [2] [4] Unstable fractures are often associated with injuries to other parts of the body. [3]

  8. FRAX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FRAX

    FRAX integrates clinical risk factors and bone mineral density at the femoral neck to calculate the 10-year probability of hip fracture and the 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture (clinical spine, forearm, hip or shoulder fracture). [2]

  9. Pathologic fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathologic_fracture

    Fragility fracture is a type of pathologic fracture that occurs as a result of an injury that would be insufficient to cause fracture in a normal bone. [2] There are three fracture sites said to be typical of fragility fractures: vertebral fractures, fractures of the neck of the femur, and Colles fracture of the wrist.
