The number of hip fractures due to osteoporosis is increasing in the aging world population. Like in other types of fractures, classifications have been made in order to better define the hip fracture condition, decide the treatment method to be applied, and create a common language. We can make use of existing classification systems when planning the treatment of an elderly hip fracture patient. However, none of the current classification systems can precisely indicate the treatment option that should be applied to a particular type of fracture. Because the role of the fracture type in deciding the type of treatment is insufficient alone, other additional factors such as the patient`s age, functional status, and comorbid conditions are directly related to this process.
