  https://www.drandrewdutton.com/blog/symptoms-of-a-hip-fracture/

  Sometimes, a broken hip can also send pain signals down to the knee instead of the hip. The reason for that is that the hips and knees share part of the same nerve pathways. This type of pain is called “referred pain”. […] The symptoms of hip fracture may seem like other medical conditions. Therefore, it’s always important to see your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis. […] A broken hip can cause considerable pain and prevent you from walking. For instance, stress fractures of the hip can trigger groin pain when you stand or move. It may cause you to limp when you walk, and strenuous activities, such as running and climbing stairs, can be excruciating. […] In some cases, you may not know that you have already sustained a hip fracture, but you will feel a slight pain in your groin, back, knees, thighs, or buttocks. It’s common when the bone is sufficiently weak, such as in osteoporosis, where the fracture occurs with little or no warning, stress, or trauma. […] If you observe some symptoms of a hip fracture, it is wise to seek professional help as soon as possible. While some fractures heal on their own, some can lead to severe complications. So, don’t take that chance. Instead, get those suspicious symptoms checked.

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2003/0201/p537.html

  Patients with hip fracture typically present to the emergency department or their physician’s office after a fall. They are often unable to walk, and they may exhibit shortening and external rotation of the affected limb. Frequently, they have hip pain. In some instances, however, patients with hip fracture may complain only of vague pain in their buttocks, knees, thighs, groin, or back. Their ability to walk may be unaffected, and initial radiographic findings may be indeterminate. […] A high index of suspicion often is required for prompt diagnosis and treatment of an occult hip fracture. Even when a patient is able to walk and has no documented trauma, localized hip pain, or typical shortening and malrotation deformity, the family physician should be alert to the possibility of hip fracture, particularly in a patient who is older than 65 years, presents with nonspecific leg discomfort, and complains of difficulty bearing weight on the affected limb. A heightened suspicion for hip fracture should lead to further diagnostic evaluation, especially if the patient has additional risk factors, such as use of a complicated drug regimen, impaired vision, physical or neurologic impairment, or comorbid condition (e.g., osteoporosis, malignancy). When hip fracture is detected early, appropriate treatment can minimize morbidity and mortality and prevent the rapid decline in quality of life that often is associated with this injury.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/87043-clinical

  Findings of the physical evaluation of the patient with a hip fracture may include the following: Testing reveals a painful hip with limited range of motion, especially in internal rotation. Pain is noted upon attempted passive hip motion. The heel percussion test also produces pain. Placing a tuning fork over the affected hip may also produce pain. An antalgic gait pattern may be present. Increased pain on the extremes of hip rotation, an abduction lurch, and an inability to stand on the involved leg may indicate a femoral neck stress fracture. If a femoral neck stress fracture is suggested, it must be excluded. Missing this diagnosis could lead to a completely displaced femoral neck fracture, AVN, nonunion of the bone, and eventual varus deformity.

  https://www.merckmanuals.com/home/injuries-and-poisoning/fractures/hip-fractures

  Hip fractures are usually very painful and usually cause pain in the groin. […] If the broken pieces of bone have separated, people cannot walk, stand, or move their leg. When they lie down, the affected leg may appear shorter and may turn out. However, if the broken pieces have been jammed together and the fracture is small, people can sometimes walk and may have only mild pain, and the leg appears normal. […] If a lot of blood leaks from the fracture or from torn blood vessels nearby, people may feel light-headed or weak. The area may swell, and a purplish bruise may develop. […] Sometimes when the hip is broken, pain seems to come from the knee instead of the hip. It feels that way because the knee and the hip share part of the same nerve pathways. Such pain is called referred pain.

• #1 Hip fracture – Diagnosis & treatment – Mayo Clinic

  A health care provider can often diagnose a hip fracture based on symptoms and the abnormal position of the hip and leg. […] If your X-ray doesn’t show a fracture but you still have hip pain, your provider might order an MRI or bone scan to look for a hairline fracture. […] Most hip fractures occur in one of two locations at the femoral neck or in the intertrochanteric region. […] Surgeons may recommend a full or partial hip replacement if the blood supply to the ball part of the hip joint was damaged during the fracture. That type of injury, which occurs most often in older people with femoral neck fractures, means the bone is less likely to heal properly.

  Hip fractures most often result in groin pain and inability to ambulate. […] Patients with displaced fractures cannot walk and have significant pain; the affected leg may appear shortened and externally rotated. In contrast, patients with impacted fractures may be able to walk and have only mild pain and no visible deformity. […] Passive hip rotation with the knee flexed aggravates the pain, helping to distinguish hip fracture from extra-articular disorders such as trochanteric bursitis.

• #1 Hip Fracture Clinical Presentation: History, Physical Examination

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/87043-clinical

  Patients with hip fractures may present in a variety of ways, ranging from an 80-year-old woman reporting hip pain after a trivial fall to a 30-year-old man in hemorrhagic shock after a high-speed motor vehicle accident. […] Although the classic presentation of a hip fracture is an elderly patient who is in extreme pain, a young, healthy athlete usually has the same presentation. The affected leg is externally rotated and may be shortened. The extremity shortening occurs because the muscles acting on the hip joint depend on the continuity of the femur to act, and when this continuity is disrupted, the result is a shorter-appearing leg. […] The patient with a stress fracture may present more subtly, reporting pain in the anterior groin or thigh. This pain increases with activity and can persist for hours afterward. The pain can progress to a point of consistency, even without activity. This pain generally expresses itself in the groin; however, it can also be referred to the knee. An antalgic gait pattern is often present. Signs and symptoms usually involve a diffuse or localized aching pain in the anterior groin or thigh region during weight-bearing activities that is relieved with rest. Night pain is also common.

• #1 Symptoms & Diagnosis of Hip Fractures | David Slattery

  https://davidslattery.com/hip-fractures/description/

  Hip fractures most commonly occur from a fall or from a direct blow to the side of the hip. Some medical conditions such as osteoporosis, cancer, or stress injuries can weaken the bone and make the hip more susceptible to breaking. In severe cases, it is possible for the hip to break with the patient merely standing on the leg and twisting. […] The patient with a hip fracture will have pain over the outer upper thigh or in the groin. There will be significant discomfort with any attempt to flex or rotate the hip. […] If the bone has been weakened by disease (such as a stress injury or cancer), the patient may notice aching in the groin or thigh area for a period of time before the break. If the bone is completely broken, the leg may appear to be shorter than the non-injured leg. The patient will often hold the injured leg in a still position with the foot and knee turned outward.

  Most people who have hip fractures will need hip surgery. This will involve anesthesia and a hospital stay. The length of the stay depends on your health and the severity of the break. Some people are unable to have hip surgery because of illness or poor health. When this happens, your doctor may consider putting you into traction. Traction uses a medical device to keep you from moving and walking. The length of time you are in traction depends on the severity of your break. […] Complications from a hip fracture can be severe and life-threatening. While you are immobile, you are at risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT is a blood clot in a vein deep inside your body. These clots usually occur in your leg veins. If the blood clot breaks away and travels through your bloodstream, it could travel to your lungs. This can be fatal.

  Delayed recognition of hip fracture can result in increased morbidity and mortality, as well as a rapid decline in quality of life. One-year mortality rates after this injury range from 15 to 20 percent. Approximately 50 percent of patients who lived independently before sustaining a hip fracture are unable to regain their independent lifestyle; instead, they face ongoing disability and prolonged institutionalization. Given these serious consequences, it is vital to detect and appropriately treat patients with hip fracture. […] The typical patient with hip fracture is often an elderly woman with dementia who sustains a fall, may complain of severe hip pain, and is unable to walk. The physical examination commonly reveals an abducted and externally rotated hip with leg-length discrepancy. The patient usually has localized tenderness over the hip and limited range of motion of the affected limb during attempts at passive and active rotation and flexion. Radiographs clearly demonstrate the fracture. […] In some instances, however, patients with hip fracture have normal ambulation and complain only of vague pain in their buttocks, knees, thighs, groin, or back. These patients frequently report no antecedent trauma, particularly if cognitive impairment is present. Their physical examination, including assessments of active, passive, and resisted movements of the affected hip joint and limb, may be normal. They often have additional injuries (e.g., scalp lacerations, knee sprains, or other impairments) that mask the hip pathology and direct the physician’s attention away from the diagnosis of hip fracture.

  The diagnosis of hip fracture can usually be established with a detailed history, a thorough physical examination, and plain-film radiographs of the symptomatic hip. If radiographic findings are indeterminate but suspicious for a hip fracture, other imaging modalities can be useful in confirming the diagnosis. […] Various nonrandomized, observational studies have shown that bone scanning of the hip using technetium Tc 99m polyphosphate as the radiopharmaceutical can be up to 98 percent sensitive in confirming the presence of hip fracture when initial radiographic findings are normal or indeterminate. The current recommendation is to delay scanning for up to 72 hours to optimize the chance of detecting the fracture. In such cases, patients may be admitted to the hospital, treated with bed rest, and reevaluated in two to three days.

Intertrochanteric region: located a little lower than the actual hip joint, in the area of the upper femur that projects outward. There is also a third type of hip fracture, called an atypical fracture. This type of hip fracture occurs in people who have been treated over a long period with drugs that increase bone density (bisphosphonates). […] A hip fracture is a serious injury with potentially life-threatening complications. The risk of hip fracture increases with age. In fact, it is one of the most common bone injuries among people aged 65 and older. In addition, people who have had a hip fracture are at increased risk for weakened bones and further falls, which means a higher risk of suffering another hip fracture. […] In general, the symptoms of a hip fracture are: Severe pain in the hip or pelvic area, Bruising and/or swelling in the hip area, Inability to bear weight on the hip, Difficulty walking, The affected leg may look shorter than the other leg and may be turned outwards.

  Symptoms of a hip or pelvic fracture include significant, sharp pain in the hip or groin and swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the skin at the site of the injury. Depending on the severity of the fracture, a broken bone may prevent you from putting any weight on the affected hip. […] Hip and pelvic fractures usually occur as the result of a fall or high-energy impact, such as a car accident or fall from a great height. In people older than age 60, hip and pelvic fractures are very common injuries, especially in women who have osteoporosis, a condition that causes bones to become fragile. A very low-energy fall, such as tripping on the edge of a rug, may cause a bone to break in someone with osteoporosis. […] In athletes, repeated high-impact activity may cause a stress fracture, which is a tiny crack in the hip or pelvic bone. In people with osteoporosis, the stress of everyday movements, such as walking and climbing stairs, may lead to a type of stress fracture called an insufficiency fracture.

[…] Although the classic presentation of a hip fracture is an elderly patient who is in extreme pain, a young, healthy athlete usually has the same presentation. The affected leg is externally rotated and may be shortened. The extremity shortening occurs because the muscles acting on the hip joint depend on the continuity of the femur to act, and when this continuity is disrupted, the result is a shorter-appearing leg. […] The patient with a stress fracture may present more subtly, reporting pain in the anterior groin or thigh. This pain increases with activity and can persist for hours afterward. The pain can progress to a point of consistency, even without activity. This pain generally expresses itself in the groin; however, it can also be referred to the knee.

The patient usually has localized tenderness over the hip and limited range of motion of the affected limb during attempts at passive and active rotation and flexion. Radiographs clearly demonstrate the fracture. […] In some instances, however, patients with hip fracture have normal ambulation and complain only of vague pain in their buttocks, knees, thighs, groin, or back. These patients frequently report no antecedent trauma, particularly if cognitive impairment is present. Their physical examination, including assessments of active, passive, and resisted movements of the affected hip joint and limb, may be normal.

[…] After your child is treated for a hip fracture, their doctor will closely monitor them for at least a year to make sure they are healing well. […] Once the fracture has healed, most children have no further problems. But sometimes a problem does develop due to a fracture. For example, there may be a problem with the hips shape and function after a fracture (posttraumatic deformity). Or some bone in the hip may die if it did not get enough blood and nutrients for a while (avascular necrosis). […] Your childs team will check for signs of problems like this and also make sure you know what signs to watch for and when to call the doctor.

  Hip fractures occur predominantly in older people. The risk increases significantly with age. […] Associated most commonly with low-energy injury (e.g., fall from standing height) and osteoporosis or osteopenia. […] Key diagnostic factors include history of fall or trauma, pain in the affected hip, groin, or thigh, inability to bear weight or move the hip, and shortened, externally rotated leg.

  Findings of the physical evaluation of the patient with a hip fracture may include the following: Testing reveals a painful hip with limited range of motion, especially in internal rotation. Pain is noted upon attempted passive hip motion. The heel percussion test also produces pain. Placing a tuning fork over the affected hip may also produce pain. An antalgic gait pattern may be present. Increased pain on the extremes of hip rotation, an abduction lurch, and an inability to stand on the involved leg may indicate a femoral neck stress fracture. If a femoral neck stress fracture is suggested, it must be excluded. Missing this diagnosis could lead to a completely displaced femoral neck fracture, AVN, nonunion of the bone, and eventual varus deformity.

  Patients with hip fracture typically present to the emergency department or their physician’s office after a fall. They are often unable to walk, and they may exhibit shortening and external rotation of the affected limb. Frequently, they have hip pain. In some instances, however, patients with hip fracture may complain only of vague pain in their buttocks, knees, thighs, groin, or back. Their ability to walk may be unaffected, and initial radiographic findings may be indeterminate. […] A high index of suspicion often is required for prompt diagnosis and treatment of an occult hip fracture. Even when a patient is able to walk and has no documented trauma, localized hip pain, or typical shortening and malrotation deformity, the family physician should be alert to the possibility of hip fracture, particularly in a patient who is older than 65 years, presents with nonspecific leg discomfort, and complains of difficulty bearing weight on the affected limb. A heightened suspicion for hip fracture should lead to further diagnostic evaluation, especially if the patient has additional risk factors, such as use of a complicated drug regimen, impaired vision, physical or neurologic impairment, or comorbid condition (e.g., osteoporosis, malignancy). When hip fracture is detected early, appropriate treatment can minimize morbidity and mortality and prevent the rapid decline in quality of life that often is associated with this injury.

  A broken hip or a hip fracture is a serious injury that requires immediate orthopedic treatment. If you are exhibiting signs of a broken hip, delaying a diagnosis and treatment could increase the likelihood of experiencing complications, some of which can be life-threatening. […] A broken hip will produce some or all of the following symptoms: Severe pain in the hip region, Pain and discomfort that limits movement of the hips, Bruises in the hip area, Swelling in the hip area, Inability of the leg on the side of the affected hip to bear weight, Inability to get up and walk, A shorter leg on the side of the affected hip, Leg turning outward on the side of the affected hip. […] For most people, an serious accident or a bad fall is necessary for a hip fracture to occur. However, for patients with osteoporosis, a sudden twisting movement, colliding with something in the house, or even a minor fall can cause a hip fracture. Therefore, if you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, you must be extra vigilant in caring for your bones and watching out for any symptoms.

  A hip fracture is a break in the femoral bone. Most hip fractures occur at one of the two areas of the femoral bone: Femoral neck: located at the top of the femur. Intertrochanteric region: located a little lower than the actual hip joint, in the area of the upper femur that projects outward. There is also a third type of hip fracture, called an atypical fracture. This type of hip fracture occurs in people who have been treated over a long period with drugs that increase bone density (bisphosphonates). […] A hip fracture is a serious injury with potentially life-threatening complications. The risk of hip fracture increases with age. In fact, it is one of the most common bone injuries among people aged 65 and older. In addition, people who have had a hip fracture are at increased risk for weakened bones and further falls, which means a higher risk of suffering another hip fracture. […] In general, the symptoms of a hip fracture are: Severe pain in the hip or pelvic area, Bruising and/or swelling in the hip area, Inability to bear weight on the hip, Difficulty walking, The affected leg may look shorter than the other leg and may be turned outwards.

  Most patients with hip fracture require surgical reduction and internal fixation. However, the choice of surgical procedure depends on the type of fracture, the preference of the orthopedic surgeon, the severity of the injury, the age of the patient, the presence or absence of comorbid conditions (e.g., osteoporosis, hip joint osteoarthritis), and the prognosis for recovery during rehabilitation. For example, extracapsular intertrochanteric fractures are typically repaired with surgical reduction and internal fixation. In contrast, treatments for intracapsular femoral neck fractures vary from internal fixation to hemiarthroplasty to total hip replacement, depending on the severity of the fracture, the stability of the joint, the patient’s condition, and the surgeon’s preference. […] Osteoporosis is probably the most important disease associated with hip fracture. Prevention of this disease is crucial to reducing the risk of hip fracture, especially in postmenopausal women. Family physicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women with multiple risk factors, screening for (e.g., bone density testing) and treating the disease when indicated.

  Sometimes, a broken hip can also send pain signals down to the knee instead of the hip. The reason for that is that the hips and knees share part of the same nerve pathways. This type of pain is called “referred pain”. […] The symptoms of hip fracture may seem like other medical conditions. Therefore, it’s always important to see your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis. […] A broken hip can cause considerable pain and prevent you from walking. For instance, stress fractures of the hip can trigger groin pain when you stand or move. It may cause you to limp when you walk, and strenuous activities, such as running and climbing stairs, can be excruciating. […] In some cases, you may not know that you have already sustained a hip fracture, but you will feel a slight pain in your groin, back, knees, thighs, or buttocks. It’s common when the bone is sufficiently weak, such as in osteoporosis, where the fracture occurs with little or no warning, stress, or trauma. […] If you observe some symptoms of a hip fracture, it is wise to seek professional help as soon as possible. While some fractures heal on their own, some can lead to severe complications. So, don’t take that chance. Instead, get those suspicious symptoms checked.
