Summary:Hip fractures is one of the commonest in elderly patients with various co-morbidities. The incidence of hip fracture in Malaysia is about 90/100 000 population and commoner in women.1 Mortality rate within six months after femoral neck fracture is reported at about 11-23% and 22-29% at one-year worldwide.
