Although often studied together, the two fracture types differ in anatomical location (femoral neck fracture is an intra-capsular fracture, and femoral intertrochanteric fracture is an extra-capsular fracture), surgical repair methods (femoral neck fractures are often treated with joint replacement or internal fixation, while intertrochanteric fractures are mainly treated with internal fixation), healing process (less callus after femoral neck fracture fixation and bone ingrowth in cementless femoral prosthesis and obvious callus in intertrochanteric fractures), and post-fracture mortality (lower mortality with femoral neck fractures compared with intertrochanteric fractures). Hip fracture includes two main fracture types: femoral neck fracture and intertrochanteric fracture. Therefore, researchers have explored the risk factors for death to provide early interventions and decrease mortality. Hip fracture is associated with significantly high all-cause mortality approximately 33% of men and 22% of women suffering a hip fracture will die within 1 year.
