Pelvic and Hip Fracture SitesA hip fracture is a break in the upper thighbone (femur) that forms the hip joint. A pelvic fracture can happen anywhere in the pelvic bone. Fractures of the hips and pelvis are not often seen in children unless a severe injury (such as a car crash) has occurred. ByHealthwise Staff
