AB A  60-year-old  woman  comes  to  the  emergency  room  for  hip  pain.  She  felt  a  pop  in  her  hip  accompanied  by  the  immediate  onset  of  pain  that  prohibited  her  from  walking.  She  had  fallen  2  days  prior.  Figure  105-1  shows  a  transcervical  left  femoral  neck  fracture  with  varus  angulation  and  superior  offset  of  the  distal  fracture  fragment.  She  was  evaluated  by  an  orthopedic  surgeon  and  underwent  surgery  the  next  day  (Figure  105-2).  After  many  months  of  rehabilitation,  she  was  able  to  walk  again.
