Hip Fracture Types and Complications
A hip fracture, also called a broken hip, is a common injury. In the United States, hip fractures are the most common broken bone that requires hospitalization; about 300,000 Americans are hospitalized for a hip fracture every year.
How ACL and PCL Injuries Differ
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are two major ligaments in the knee that work together to provide stability. They are also common sites of serious tears, particularly in athletes. Although ACL and PCL injuries may initially appear to have similar symptoms, such as knee instability and pain, the ligament injuries have unique characteristics that make them differ in terms of who is affected, extent of injury, and treatment guidelines.

They develop slowly over time from overuse.
