Abstract
There is a significant global burden of disease associated with the management of hip fractures. Despite numerous studies that are focused on the treatment of patients with proximal femur fractures, the management of these injuries remains controversial. Clinicians should become familiar with the current evidence regarding the management of these common injuries and understand the key issues and controversies because they will have important implications given the large-scale effect of hip fractures internationally.
