Abstract:
Hip fractures in women are a serious health concern, demanding prompt treatment and pain control methods. This study examines fracture frequency, diagnostic techniques, and classification, focusing on femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures. It discusses risk factors including age, gender, bone strength, and medication and their impact on fracture risk. Treatments range from noninvasive care to surgeries such as internal fixation and joint replacement. Perioperative measures such as anesthesia, antibiotics, and clot prevention to improve outcomes and lessen complications are also discussed. Postsurgery care emphasizes pain relief strategies, including opioids, nerve blocks, and modern methods such as real-time messaging for pain control.

Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
