Hip Fracture

A hip fracture is an injury in the femur – the top area of the thighbone. The hip joint is a ball and socket joint, and the point where your pelvic bone and thighbone meet. The ball part, or femur of your hip joint forms the head of the thighbone. The socket part is in your pelvic bone, called the acetabulum. There can be several reasons for a hip fracture, and it is a serious condition that demands immediate medical attention.

Mostly, hip fractures occur in people above the age of 60, and the risk increases with growing age. Osteoporosis is also a common reason.

Hip Dislocation

Your hip is a ball and socket kind of joint where the socket is developed by the acetabulum – the large pelvic bone, and the ball is called the femoral head – the upper section of the thighbone or femur. When the femur is pressured out of the pelvis (the socket in your hip bone), it results in hip dislocation. There are two types of dislocated hip – posterior and anterior dislocation. The posterior dislocation is when the thighbone is pushed out of the pelvis in the backward direction.

The anterior dislocation is when the femur is pushed out of the socket in the forward direction.

Avascular Necrosis

Avascular Necrosis (AVN) is the condition when the bone tissue dies because of insufficient blood supply. It is also called osteonecrosis, ischemic bone necrosis, or aseptic necrosis. If not treated on time, it can lead to bone collapse. Usually, it affects the hip apart from the knees, shoulder, and ankles. When left untreated, it can result in the breaking of bones. A dislocated joint or broken bone can mess with the normal blood flow to a particular area of bone.

It is also associated with excessive alcohol intake and high-dose of steroid medications. Avascular necrosis is most common in adults ageing from 30-50 years or above.
