Subtrochanteric fracture - what does this mean
A subtrochanteric fracture is a break in the bone that occurs just below the neck of the femur, usually caused by a direct impact to the hip or a fall onto the side of the hip. it is a serious injury that can result in severe pain, swelling, and difficulty walking.
What happens during the disease - subtrochanteric fracture
Subtrochanteric fracture is a type of fracture that occurs in the area between the greater and lesser trochanters of the femur, which is the long bone of the thigh. it is most commonly caused by high-energy trauma such as a motor vehicle accident or a fall from a height. the fracture can be caused by direct or indirect forces, with the latter causing a shearing force on the bone that can lead to a fracture. other factors that can contribute to the development of a subtrochanteric fracture include weakened bones due to osteoporosis, weakened muscles due to disuse, and weakened ligaments due to aging.
