A hip fracture is a serious injury, with complications that can be life-threatening. The risk of hip fracture rises with age. Older people are at a higher risk of hip fracture because bones tend to weaken with age (osteoporosis). Multiple medications, poor vision and balance problems also make older people more likely to trip and fall â one of the most common causes of hip fracture. A hip fracture almost always requires surgical repair or replacement, followed by months of physical therapy.
A hip fracture usually occurs in the ball portion (femur) of your hip joint and can occur in different places. At times, the socket or acetabulum can become fractured. Femoral neck fracture: This type of break occurs in the femur about 1 or 2 inches from where the head of the bone meets the socket.
