Status:

A hip fracture refers to the femur being broken[1]. A femur fracture requires surgery for repair as a general rule whereas a pelvic fracture may or may not need bedrest and ususally would not be surgically repaired. If you are not sure look at the surgical report to see if a femur repair has taken place. (Judy K jul 8)

According to an orthopedic nurse: anything including and distal to the femoral head is an extremity fracture. Anything including and proximal to the acetabulum is a pelvic fracture. --LKolesar 12:51, 2013 July 9 (CDT)
