What is right femur fracture?

A femur fracture is a break, crack, or crush injury of the thigh bone. It is sometimes referred to as a hip fracture or broken hip when the break is in the upper part of the bone near the hip joint area. Femur fractures that are simple, short cracks in the bone usually do not require surgery.

Is femur fracture a hip fracture?

A hip fracture is a break in the thighbone (femur) of your hip joint. Joints are areas where 2 or more bones meet. Your hip joint is a “ball and socket” joint, where your thighbone meets your pelvic bone. The ball part of your hip joint is the head of the thighbone.

Is femur and hip the same?

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint. The ball, at the top of your femur (thighbone) is called the femoral head. The socket, called the acetabulum, is a part of your pelvis.

In which body part can you find the femur?

Femur, also called thighbone, upper bone of the leg or hind leg. The head forms a ball-and-socket joint with the hip (at the acetabulum), being held in place by a ligament (ligamentum teres femoris) within the socket and by strong surrounding ligaments.

What is a tib fib fracture?

Fibula and Tibial Shaft Fractures Severe injuries resulting from car crashes, sports injuries,6 or falls may lead to an injury of both the tibia and the fibula above the ankle joint. These injuries, often referred to as “tib-fib” fractures, typically require surgery to support the alignment of the leg.

What is a Bimalleolar fracture?

“Bimalleolar” means that two of the three parts or malleoli of the ankle are broken. (Malleoli is plural for malleolus.) In most cases of bimalleolar fracture, the lateral malleolus and the medial malleolus are broken and the ankle is not stable.

How long does it take to recover from a tib fib fracture?

Recovery from a tibia-fibula fracture typically takes about three to six months. Your child may be able to heal faster by resting and not putting too much weight on their leg until the bone has healed.

Is a Bimalleolar fracture serious?

Most bimalleolar and trimalleolar ankle fractures are serious injuries. They often occur from high energy injuries such as falls and motor vehicle collisions. In addition to the force of impact, there is often a significant force of rotation on the ankle seen in sports injuries and serious falls.

How long does it take for Bimalleolar fracture to heal?

Bimalleolar fractures make the ankle unstable and typically require surgery to implant metal plates, screws, and rods to keep the bones aligned. Following surgery, the ankle is usually put in a short leg cast. In general, it takes at least 6 weeks for the broken malleoli to heal.
