A member asked:
What hip injuries can one get from falling off a horse?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Depends on patient age, energy of the fall, and way you land. Older patients usually suffer hip fractures. Younger patients usually suffer soft tissue injury or if there is a fracture then it is usually below the joint in the femur.

Many: The list is too numerous to mention. Spend more time being a better rider and less time memorizing injuries and you will be much better off. Was there a specific injury you were concerned about?
