Sumario:Centenarians population is proliferating, and hip fractures are responsible for more than 10% of all hospital admissions for centenarian patients, which represents a considerable challenge to patients and healthcare providers.

In addition, we further reviewed case reports, news, and related studies to address the central points in managing hip fractures in the centenarian population.
