Classification of femur trochanteric fracture: Evaluating the reliability of Tang classification

Hip fracture is one of the most common types of fractures in humans, particularly in the elderly. The aging of the population has led to a significant increase in the number of patients with hip fractures worldwide, with the largest number of patients occurring in Asia [1]. Hip fractures mostly occur after accidental falls in patients with osteoporosis [2]. The prevalence of hip fractures is 18% in women and 6% in men [1].
