Hip Fracture Treatment in Central Kentucky

A hip fracture is a break in the upper part of the thigh bone (femur) near the hip joint, often caused by falls, direct trauma, or weakened bones from osteoporosis. Common symptoms include sudden hip or groin pain, difficulty or inability to bear weight, swelling or bruising, and sometimes a shortened or rotated leg. Hip fractures are a medical emergency and usually require prompt treatment, which may include surgery, pain management, and rehabilitation to restore mobility and prevent complications.
