Proximal femoral fracture is one of the common fractures in osteoporosis, and the incidence of it is rising. Early restoration of the patient's preinjury activity level is the primary goal in the treatment of proximal femoral fractures in the elderly to avoid complications. ⋯ The standard of care for undisplaced femoral neck fracture is primarily internal fixation, and hemiarthroplasty for displaced neck fracture in elderly patients. Internal fixation is indicated for trochanteric fractures.
