A hip fracture is a break in the upper quarter of the femur (thigh) bone. The extent of the break depends on the forces that are involved. The type of surgery used to treat a hip fracture is primarily based on the bones and soft tissues affected or on the level of the fracture.
Signs and symptoms of a hip fracture include: Inability to move immediately after a fall. Severe pain in your hip or groin. Inability to put weight on your leg on the side of your injured hip. Stiffness, bruising and swelling in and around your hip area.
