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.
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).

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.
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.
Femoral neck fractures are a specific type of intracapsular hip fracture. The femoral neck connects the femoral shaft with the femoral head. The hip joint is the articulation of the femoral head with the acetabulum. The junctional location makes the femoral neck prone to fracture.

Fracture of femur ICD-10-CM S72. 309A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0):
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.
The femur is the thigh bone. It consists of the femoral shaft, which runs from the hip to the knee, and the femoral head, which connects to the hip bone. The femoral neck is the part of the bone that connects the head with the shaft. The location of the femoral neck makes it prone to fractures.
Transcervical fractures of the proximal femur are the most common (45–50%) type of hip fracture in children [1]. The lateral epiphyseal artery is vulnerable at the proximal femoral epiphysis and can be damaged by the fracture ends. AVN is the leading cause of poor postoperative results.
