A femur fracture is critical, period. To have two femur fractures doubles their chances of possibly having a severed artery, and bleeding out.
A hip fracture generally refers to the fracture of the head or neck of the femur (thigh) bone. There are several different areas that can suffer a fracture and still be called a hip fracture. For example, a fracture to the greater or lesser trochanters of the femur are also commonly called hip fractures by the general public.
Yes. That is why you get fracture of neck of the femur in old people.
