H I P F R A C T U R E SHIP FRACTURES – A GUIDE FOR PATIENTS

The hip joint is a ball and socket joint. A fractured neck of femur is when the top part of the hip bone (the ball) becomes broken. It is common in elderly patients, even after a trivial fall. As a result, the patient is unable to stand up and mobilize and any attempt to move the hip is severely painful.

• A sprained ankle is a very common injury. A sprained ankle can happen not only during sports but also to anyone stepping on an uneven surface or suffering a twisting injury to the ankle.

• The ligaments of the ankle hold the ankle bones and joint in position. They protect the ankle joint from abnormal movements- especially twisting, turning, and rolling of the foot.

• Tennis elbow is a painful condition of the elbow. Despite the name, apart from playing tennis, several other activities can also cause this condition.

• Tennis elbow is an inflammation of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outer aspect of the elbow. The forearm muscles and tendons become damaged from overuse, i.e. repeating the same motions again and again. This leads to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow.
