Displaced fractures of the proximal femur are characterized by:

  1. A flexed hip joint and inward thigh rotation

  2. Hip joint extension and external leg rotation

  3. Lengthening and internal rotation of the leg

  4. Shortening and external rotation of the leg

The correct answer is: Shortening and external rotation of the leg

Displaced fractures of the proximal femur are characterized by shortening and external rotation of the leg. This is due to the pulling of the muscles and the displacement of the fractured bone, resulting in the limb appearing shorter and rotated outward. This presentation is a common clinical finding in patients with proximal femur fractures.
