This type of fracture usually requires plate and screw repair or partial or total hip replacement to regain mobility and independence. Hip fractures usually occur for one of the following reasons: Falls due to visual problems, and loss of coordination or balance. Age, since over the years bone density and muscle mass decrease, leading to the possibility of a fracture in the event of a fall. Lack of physical activity. Calcium and vitamin D deficiency. Intake of certain medications such as cortisone or prednisone that can weaken bones and other drugs cause dizziness and drowsiness, increasing the risk of a possible fall and fracture. Women are more prone to hip fractures because estrogen levels decrease at menopause, accelerating bone loss. Low blood glucose levels. Low blood pressure. Osteoporosis. Overactive thyroid, intestinal or endocrine conditions that can reduce the absorption of calcium and vitamin D, weakening the bones. Nervous system disorders, such as strokes, dementia, and Parkinson's disease, among others, can increase the risk of falls. Hip fractures usually occur in one of the two parts of the femur that extends from the pelvis to the knee.https://denumerislabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/share-imagen-centro-medico-abc.png779406
