Hip fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among older patients. They also account for a significant portion of healthcare spending and other non-medical costs. These fractures can be classified into various types based on the parts of the femoral head and neck affected, and fixation options are dependent on both patient and injury characteristics. In this video, Dr. Agarwal-Harding takes us through a hip hemiarthroplasty for a left femoral neck fracture, highlighting various guiding principles and surgical considerations.
