By 2040 the incidence is estimated to be doubled. In India the figures may be much more. These fractures occur both in the elderly and the young, but they are more common in the elderly population with osteoporosis due to a low energy mechanism. The female to male ratio is between 2:1 and 8:1. These patients are also typically older than patients who suffer femoral neck fractures. Hence, in this article, we discuss the comparison of patients’ self assessment with the physician’s assessment of the outcome of hip fractures using Harris Hip scoring system.
