What is a Hip Fracture?
A hip fracture is a serious injury that can be life-threatening and most commonly affect the elderly. It usually results from a fall but can also be due to osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Hip fractures are a break of the head or neck of the femur, but it can also refer to a break of the pelvis, which contains the hip socket.

You and your staff are wonderful and I will gladly recommend you to family and friends!” — Sharon B.
“My son fractured his hip during track season. Dr. VanderWilde and his staff were wonderful to him. Made it a pleasant experience in the midst of frustration for him to be missing out on his track season. Both appointments we had were a great experience. Thanks for all the help.” — Heidi V.
