Femur Fracture
A femur fracture is a break in the thigh bone, the longest and strongest bone in the body. It usually requires medical care because it affects the ability to bear weight and walk.
Common symptoms: Intense pain in the thigh or hip, inability to put weight on the leg, visible deformity or shortening, and swelling in the area.
Common causes: In young people it is usually due to high-force blows, such as accidents, while in older adults it can occur with falls when the bone is more fragile.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist, and in children the pediatric orthopedist, are the ones who evaluate and treat fractures; when it is related to weakened bones, other professionals help with its care. In the face of an injury that prevents moving or bearing weight on the leg, seeking care without delay is the most prudent course.
