Proximal femoral fractures are a heterogeneous group of fractures that occur in and around the hip. The commonest type of fracture in this region is the femoral neck fracture. They can occur anywhere between the joint surface of the femoral head and the upper shaft (proximal diaphysis) of the femur.
A broken thighbone, also known as a femur fracture, is a serious and painful injury. The femur is one of the strongest bones in the body, and a break or fracture in the femur bone is often caused by severe injury such as trauma sustained in a motor vehicle accident.
Hip fractures are classified according to their anatomical location as intracapsular, which involves the femoral head and neck, and extracapsular, which includes intertrochanteric, trochanteric, and subtrochanteric fractures.
Definition of an intracapsular neck of femur fracture (#NOF) Intracapsular neck of femur fractures (#NOF) occur within the capsule of the hip joint. The blood supply to femoral head travels in a retrograde direction via the capsule.
Neck of femur fractures (NOF), a.k.a. femoral neck fractures, are common injuries sustained by older patients who are both more likely to have unsteadiness of gait and reduced bone mineral density, predisposing to fracture.
Intracapsular fractures occur proximal to the point at which the hip joint capsule attaches to the femur. Extracapsular fractures occur distal to the hip joint capsule. If the fracture line extends below the lesser trochanter the term “subtrochanteric” fracture is used.
An extracapsular fracture is a bone fracture near a joint but still located outside the joint capsule. Examples of extracapsular fractures are intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric hip fractures.
There are three broad categories of hip fractures based on the location of the fracture: femoral neck fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, and subtrochanteric fractures. The femoral neck is the most common location for a hip fracture, accounting for 45% to 53% of hip fractures.
Treatment of femoral neck fractures usually involves surgery, medication, and rehabilitation. Pain medication provides short-term relief from pain. This may include over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or prescription drugs, such as opioids.
