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  107-1  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  in  a  hospital  that  provides  co-management  by  a  geriatrician  (Figure  107-2).  After  many  months  of  rehabilitation,  she  was  able  to  walk  again.
