A hip fracture refers to some break inside the upper portion of the femur (thigh bone) within just or near the hip joint. The severity and distinct area of the fracture will vary, but it commonly occurs in one of three spots: the femoral neck, intertrochanteric region, or subtrochanteric area. https://www.theorthopaedicandpainpractice.com/subtrochanteric-fractures-what-is-it/
