Hip Fractures: The basics

Risk factors, history, signs, X-ray appearances and classification of fractured neck of femur are all covered in this video podcast aimed at medical students and interns/foundation/core doctors in training. Next time you see someone on a trolley in the ER with a shortened externally rotated leg you'll know exactly what to do. Naomi Laskar and Pete Legg are trainees in Surgery in the East Midlands, UK

Perfect name for a leg Doctor. Dr Legg.

Nominative determinism (the function/job is described by the name)

pro trick : you can watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

this was really helpful, thank you

[@delanodean2024]

Brilliant stuff

[@asseyez-vous6492]

Helpful, but not always caused by falls or car crashes. I have one and I'm an athlete

8:05 the x-ray looks to me like the fracture starts below the greater trochanter and proceeds obliquely? Could someone explain why this is a interotrochanteric and not an oblique sub-trochanteric Fracture?
