Answer:

The correct answer is C. <em>Greater throcanter of the femur.</em>

Explanation:

Hip fractures describe all those fractures that occur in the proximal extremity of the femur.

According to the location of the fracture in the extremity, it can affect the femoral head, the femoral neck, the trochanter of the femur or the area under the femur.

Most of the hip fractures occur in older people, mostly in women, and mainly, the causes of fractures are falls or missteps.

For the treatment, there are some surgery options, among other more conservatory. One of them is <u>hip pinning</u>, which is considered a good option for fractures that occur in the<u> greater and lesser part of the trochanter</u> in the femur bone.
