    The document describes a surgical procedure called hip pinning to treat a fractured hip in aging adults. The procedure involves using metal pins and screws to stabilize the femur after it has been fractured, often from a fall. Anesthesia is administered either through a general anesthetic or spinal block before an emergency surgery is performed to insert the pins and screws in the femoral neck or intertrochanteric area under fluoroscopy guidance. Potential complications include infections, blood clots, nerve or blood vessel injuries, and non-healing of the bones. Rehabilitation follows with exercises to regain strength.
