Symptoms and Diagnosis |
|
Text 
Hip fracture is very common in the elderly (women comprise 80% of the cases) who have tripped and fallen while walking. The main symptoms include:- • Pain in the hip region • Difficulty / Inability in walking The diagnosis is confirmed by X-ray of the hip joint in both anterior and lateral position. If in doubt a CT scan of the affected hip maybe done. A 3D reconstruction shows the angle and displacement of the fracture. In case of pathological fractures a bone scan maybe carried out to see if other areas of the bone are affected by cancer. |
