1 The prothrombin or vitamin Kâdependent group includes factors II, VII, IX, and X. 2  The fibrinogen group includes factors I, V, VIII, and XIII. 3  They are the most labile of the factors and are consumed during the coagulation process.
It is important to classify the type of fracture, because some fractures are more difficult to treat than others. Intra-articular fractures, open fractures, comminuted fractures, and displaced fractures (when the broken pieces of bone do not line up straight).are more difficult to treat, for example. Sometimes, the other bone of the forearm (the ulna) is also broken. This is called a distal ulna fracture.
If the intracapsular hip fracture is displaced in a younger patient, a surgical attempt will be made to reduce, or realign, the fracture through a larger incision. The fracture will be held together with either individual screws or with the larger compression hip screw.
