What is extracapsular hip fracture?
a fracture outside the socket of the hip joint (extracapsular fracture) a fracture inside the socket of the hip joint (intracapsular fracture) – if it is stable and has not moved significantly (undisplaced)
What type of fracture is a NOF?
A fractured neck of femur (NOF) is a very common orthopaedic presentation….Anatomy.
| Garden Classification | Simplified Classification | Description |

What is intracapsular Nof?
Extra capsular neck of femur fractures (#NOF) are fractures of the neck of the femur which occur outside the capsule of the hip joint. As such the risks of avascular necrosis of the femoral head or no longer a concern.
What is intracapsular and extracapsular?
Hip fractures are classified according to their anatomical location as intracapsular, which involves the femoral head and neck, and extracapsular, which includes intertrochanteric, trochanteric, and subtrochanteric fractures.
What is the hip capsule?
The hip capsule is a fibrous structure surrounding the hip joint comprising three external ligaments directed longitudinally as well as internal fibers directed circumferentially.
What is hip joint capsule?
The hip joint contains a strong fibrous capsule that attaches proximally to the acetabulum and transverse acetabular ligament and distally to the neck of the femur anteriorly at the greater trochanter (see the image below).
What are the different types of hip fractures?
There are three broad categories of hip fractures based on the location of the fracture: femoral neck fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, and subtrochanteric fractures. The femoral neck is the most common location for a hip fracture, accounting for 45% to 53% of hip fractures.
Where does hip capsule attach?
The hip joint capsule is strong and dense, and is attached above to the acetabular margin 5-6 mm beyond its labrum, in front to the outer labral aspect and, near the acetabular notch, to the transverse acetabular ligament and the adjacent rim of the obturator foramen.
How long does it take for hip capsule to heal?
Typically, it takes adult tissues 3 or 4 months to fully mature. Clearly, the healing process is well underway by 6 weeks. I emphasize that their hip is stable and they need to get active but use common sense.
What are the types of hip fractures?
Which muscle is attached to capsule of hip joint?
It consists of two sets of fibers, circular and longitudinal. The circular fibers, zona orbicularis, are most abundant at the lower and back part of the capsule, and form a sling or collar around the neck of the femur….

Which types of fractures are most difficult to repair?
Example: A comminuted fracture is the most difficult to repair due to the bone having fractured into numerous pieces. Multiple bone pieces require more effort to hold them together in the ideal position for healing.
What is hip capsular?
The hip capsule is a membranous fold comprising three major ligaments that envelops your hip joint and keeps the joint in position. During hip arthroscopy the capsule is penetrated to improve access and visibility of the joint structures.
What is hip capsular repair?
Capsular reconstruction surgery is a procedure that replaces the damaged capsule with a graft from another part of the body (autograft) or a donor (allograft). The goal of this procedure is to restore stability and the biomechanical properties of the hip joint.
