What is it? A subcapital fracture is one of the common types of intracapsular fractures of the femur. These fractures occur at the top level of the femur within a soft-tissue capsule envelope containing lubricant and fluid necessary for the hip joint to move properly.
Types of Femoral Neck Stress Fractures
When the radius breaks near the wrist, it is called a distal radius fracture. The break usually happens due to falling on an outstretched or flexed hand. It can also happen in a car accident, a bike accident, a skiing accident or another sports activity. A distal radius fracture can be isolated, which means no other fractures are involved.
ICD-10 code S72. 0 for Fracture of head and neck of femur is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
Femoral neck (subcapital) fractures: These fractures occur in the neck of the thighbone. Metal pins can be inserted to support the femoral head. Intertrochanteric fractures: These fractures occur in the large bumps of bone (trochanters) below the neck of the thighbone.

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.

Overview. A hemiarthroplasty is a surgical procedure that involves replacing half of the hip joint. Hemi means “half” and arthroplasty refers to “joint replacement.” Replacing the entire hip joint is called total hip replacement (THR). A hemiarthroplasty is generally used to treat a fractured hip.
Options for the treatment of subcapital femoral neck fractures basically fall into two categories: internal fixation or arthroplasty (either hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty).
Subcapital fracture is the most common type of intracapsular neck of femur fracture. The fracture line extends through the junction of the head and neck of femur.
subcapital (plural subcapitals) A secondary or regional capital; the capital of a subdivision.
At some point, you may need physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility to your muscles. Doing your exercises as prescribed can improve your chances for a full recovery. Most femoral fractures take about 4 to 6 months to heal completely, but you should be able to resume many activities before this time.
You have broken your thigh bone close to your hip joint. The hip joint connects the thigh to the pelvis.
