Diagnosis and Management of Ipsilateral Femoral Neck and Shaft Fractures.
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2018Ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures typically occur as a result of high-energy trauma in young adults. Up to 9% of femoral shaft fractures will have an associated femoral neck fracture. Awareness of this association and the use of a protocolized

Fracture of Femoral Head and Femoral Neck
2020Femoral neck fractures generally are caused by low-energy trauma, most of which occur in the elderly. Possible damage mechanisms include direct impact on the greater trochanter during the fall, pronation of the lower extremities, and torsion caused by an external force.

The femoral neck, which is situated between the femoral head and the trochanters of the thigh, is divided into three sections. The medial region is defined as the area between the femoral head and the field of maximal tapering. Adjacent is situated the lateral region of the femoral neck.

SPONTANEOUS FRACTURES OF THE FEMORAL NECK
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 19621. Aching pain in the thigh, hip or buttock in an elderly person should lead to radiological examination of the hip region. In patients who have been subjected to irradiation for pelvic neoplasms a spontaneous fracture should be strongly suspected and the patient kept under close review, even if the first radiograph is negative. 2.

Fractures of the proximal femur, commonly termed hip fracture, is a devastating injury for any age of patient. The injury carries a high mortality as well as significant morbidity and impact of function. They can be divided into intracapsular (also called subcapital) fractures and extracapsular fractures.

Epidemiology of femoral neck fractures
Injury, 2002Fractures of the femoral neck, that is, "cervical hip fractures" constitute 53% of all fractures of the proximal femur (hip fractures) according to the Swedish National Hip Fracture Register linked to SAHFE (Standardised Audit of Hip Fractures in Europe).

Occult fractures of the femoral neck
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1992Occult fractures of the femoral neck can be subtle or even undetectable on plain radiographs. Yet, untreated, the morbidity of this fracture significantly increases. This report discusses the clinical and radiologic findings seen in occult fractures of the femoral neck.

Fractures around the hip joint result from violent force such as high-energy trauma or less frequently in association with pathological conditions [1]. Femoral neck fracture as an atypical presentation of child abuse has also been presented recently [2]. The overall incidence of femoral neck fractures in children is less than 1% [3].

The incidence of hip fractures worldwide is expected to almost quadruple in the next 60 years (1). In addition to the acute limitations associated with a hip fracture, most patients continue to suffer from difficulties in performing activities of daily living (2), and their related mortality is high.

Pseudopathologic fracture of the femoral neck
Skeletal Radiology, 1981We have seen two cases of traumatic subcapital fractures of the femoral neck which resembled pathologic fractures on plain radiography. We have named this entity “pseudopathologic fracture of the femoral neck” and offer suggestions for why it occurs.
