Background
- Occur via fall in elderly or osteoporotic
Femur Fracture Types
Proximal
- Intracapsular
- Extracapsular
Shaft
- Mid-shaft femur fracture (all subtrochanteric)
Clinical Features
- Typically pain, swelling, ecchymosis
- May lose 1-2L of blood
- Unable to bear weight
- Shortening and external rotation if fracture is significantly displaced
Differential Diagnosis
Hip pain
Acute Trauma
- Femur fracture
- Proximal
- Intracapsular
- Extracapsular
- Shaft
- Mid-shaft femur fracture (all subtrochanteric)
- Proximal
- Hip dislocation
- Pelvic fractures
Chronic/Atraumatic
- Hip bursitis
- Psoas abscess
- Piriformis syndrome
- Meralgia paresthetica
- Septic arthritis
- Obturator nerve entrapment
- Avascular necrosis of hip
Evaluation
Workup
- Consider AP pelvis in addition to AP/lateral views to compare contralateral side
- Consider MRI if strong clinical suspicion but negative x-ray
Diagnosis
- Stable (Garden's type I and II)
- Lesser trochanter non-displaced, no comminution, medial cortices of prox/distal fragments aligned
- Unstable (Garden's type III and IV)
- Displacement occurs, comminution is present, or multiple fracture lines exist
Management
General Fracture Management
- Acute pain management
- Open fractures require immediate IV antibiotics and urgent surgical washout
- Neurovascular compromise from fracture requires emergent reduction and/or orthopedic intervention
- Consider risk for compartment syndrome
Specific Management
- Ortho consult
Disposition
- Admit
Specialty Care
- Typically requires ORIF
