Hip Fractures treatment in Ciudad Acuña

A hip fracture is a break in the upper end of the femur, near the joint that connects the leg with the pelvis. It is usually related to falls and is more common in older people or those with weakened bones.

Common symptoms: Intense pain in the hip or groin, an inability to stand or walk, and sometimes the affected leg looks shorter or turned outward.

Why act quickly: Regaining mobility and preventing complications depends largely on early care.

Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist and the trauma surgeon are the ones who evaluate and treat the fracture, and subsequent rehabilitation supports the return to activity. If after a fall there is hip pain and it is not possible to bear weight on the leg, the right thing to do is seek care immediately.
