Intertrochanteric fractures are extracapsular fractures of the proximal femur that occur between the greater and lesser trochanters. A subtrochanteric hip fracture occurs when a break between the region 5 cm below the lesser trochanter. Aim: To determine the incidence of hip fractures in the study population Methodology: This study comprised a total of 670 patients. There were 315 (47%) males and 355 (53%) females. The Proforma was created to record demographic information, hip fracture complications and lab test results. Every patient who was a part of this study gave their written informed permission. Before collecting data and publishing it in a medical publication, an ethics committee__ampersandsignrsquo;s consent was obtained. The participants were chosen using a non-probability sequential selection approach. Results: The present studies show that higher numbers of hip fractures were observed in older age (above 66 years), in which 69% of females and 57% were males. The major cause of hip fracture was fall and slippage that broke the hip bone, it was found more in females (81.6%) than males (39.7%). Complications were observed due to waiting for their operative procedures. The delay has led to pulmonary, cardiac problems, and bedsores. However, in 80% of cases, the union of hip fracture was observed. Conclusion: The present study concluded that the incidence rate of hip fracture increases with respect to age. In males, a major cause of hip fracture was accidents fractures are more prevalent in females, and fall and slippage are the major causes.&#13;
