Updated on January 22, 2021. A femoral neck fracture is a type of hip fracture of the thigh bone (femur) —just below the ball of the ball-and-socket hip joint. This type of fracture disconnects the ball from the rest of the femur. It often causes groin pain that worsens when you putting weight on the injured leg.
Nishino et al. encountered a case of bilateral femoral neck stress fracture that occurred in a patient with early stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and were able to observe progression of stress fracture since before fracture occurred. This is considered to be the first report to capture imaging changes before and after the onset.
Upper extremity of right femur viewed from behind and above. Right femur. Anterior surface. The femoral neck ( femur neck or neck of the femur) is a flattened pyramidal process of bone, connecting the femoral head with the femoral shaft, and forming with the latter a wide angle opening medialward.
hip fracture, in pathology, a break in the proximal (upper) end of the femur. Hipfracturecan occur at any age. Common causes include severe impact (e.g., a caraccident), falls, and weak bonesor bone loss (osteoporosis). The risk of hip fracture from falls and bone loss increases with age.

Femoral neck fracture: This type of break occurs in the femur about 1 or 2 inches from where the head of the bone meets the socket. A femoral neck fracture may cut off the blood circulation to the ball of your hip by tearing the blood vessels.
A valgus impacted femoral neck fracture was defined when the proximal fragment showed closed apposition and impaction at the medial and lateral side of the fracture site on the anteroposterior (AP) radiograph and the angle of the medial group of trabeculae at the fracture site showed a valgus configuration10).

Fractures of femoral neck in adults were first classified as intracapsular or extracapsular and later distinguished as subcapital, mid-cervical, basal, intertrochanteric, or pertrochanteric types. The subcapital was further divided into abduction, or impacted and adduction, or varus.
Femoral neck fractures may be either displaced, where the bone is moved out of its original position, or non-displaced, where there is no instability of the bone. These fractures may disrupt the blood supply to the fractured portion of the bone.
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint where the head of the thigh bone (femur) acts as a ball that fits into the rounded socket of the hip bone (acetabulum). The neck of the femur is the region just below the ball of the hip joint.
An impacted fracture refers to a fracture in which bone fragments have been driven into each other. A compression fracture is similar to an impaction fracture, but the term is applied to describe a fracture in which cancellous bone collapses and compresses upon itself.
Summary. Valgus alignment is known as knock knee syndrome. It shifts the load-bearing axis to the outside of the knee joint, forcing the knees to be positioned inward. Varus alignment, or bow leg syndrome, causes the load-bearing axis of the leg to shift to the inside, pushing the knees outward.
The femoral neck is the region of the femur bounded by the femoral head proximally and the greater and lesser trochanters distally (shown below). A femoral neck fracture is intracapsular, that is within the hip joint and beneath the fibrous joint capsule.
