AB  - Fractures  above  the  level  of  the  lesser  trochanter  are  termed  hip  fractures.  The  femoral  head  has  a  tenuous  blood  supply,  and  fractures  can  compromise  blood  flow,  resulting  in  avascular  necrosis.  For  classification,  hip  fractures  are  generally  divided  into  intracapsular  (femoral  head  and  neck  fractures)  and  extracapsular  (trochanteric,  intertrochanteric,  and  subtrochanteric).  Accurate  classification  is  important  because  intracapsular  fractures  are  more  likely  to  have  vascular  disruption.
