The management of fractures of the hip.

Proximal femoral fractures are a common reason for admission to orthopaedic units, and one which may become even more regular as the population ages. Despite this, newcomers to the orthopaedic arena, such as nursing students, may be confused when faced by different hip fractures and the treatments which may be offered. This article seeks to clarify some of these points by outlining the anatomy of the proximal femoral region, various common fractures, the treatments available to the surgeon and aspects of nursing care associated with the pre and post operative phases of the patient's care.
