Medical history (history of illness) is an important component in the diagnosis of femoral neck fracture (femoral neck fracture).
Family history
- Are there any conditions in your family that are common?
Social anamnesis
Current medical history/systemic history (somatic and psychological complaints).
- Are you in pain?
- Where is the pain localized?
- Was there a fall event? Did you stumble?
- Can you move the affected leg?
- Do you have feeling in the leg, toes?
Vegetative anamnesis including nutritional anamnesis.
- Are you underweight? Please tell us your body weight (in kg) and height (in cm).
- Do you smoke? If so, how many cigarettes, cigars or pipes per day?
- Do you drink alcohol more often? If yes, what drink(s) and how many glasses of it per day?
Self anamnesis incl. medication anamnesis
- Pre-existing conditions (cerebrovascular disease, neurological disease, osteoporosis, neoplasms, etc.).
- Accidents (previous accidents?)
- Operations (operations with relevance)
- Radiotherapy
- Allergies
- Medication history
Medication history
- Antidepressants – hip fracture risk in seniors was particularly elevated at baseline and continued for up to 4 years
- Antihypertensives (antihypertensive medications) – Secondary analysis of ALLHAT trial data confirmed that in hypertensives, therapy with a thiazide diuretic was associated with a reduced risk of hip and pelvic fractures compared with ACE inhibitors or beta-blockers.
- Hypnotics/sedatives (sedatives/sleep aids).
- Diuretics (diuretic medications).
