Answer #1

Hip fracture-2 types

intracapsular hip fracture extracapsular hip fracture
Age and mechanism young,with severe trauma elderly,with trivial trauma
Deformity(due to pull of greater trochanter by abductor muscles) less(because intact capsule prevents the pull of greater trochanter) more (capsule supoort gone)
Union chances less(because intracapsular means lined by synovial fluid which inhibits callus formation) no synovial fluid so more chances of union
