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 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.

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.

Fractures of the femoral neck in adolescence
Injury, 1972A series of fractures of the femoral neck in adolescence is presented. Most of the fractures were of the transcervical type. Treatment with plaster fixation or wire proved to be inadequate in displaced fractures in adolescence. When using a trifin nail a better result was obtained and a hole was drilled for the nail but in some cases the nail slipped ...

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.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head extending into the femoral neck
Skeletal Radiology, 2012Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is an ischemic disorder that can lead to femoral head collapse and secondary osteoarthritis. Although the condition is usually limited to the femoral head, we report a rare case of biopsy-proven ONFH extending into the femoral neck, which required hip replacement surgery.

Fibrous dysplasia of the femoral neck
Skeletal Radiology, 1984Fibrous dysplasia of the femur is usually observed in the intertrochanteric region. It is rarely confined to the femoral neck. We present four cases illustrating the radiographic appearance and spectrum of this condition which all showed the relatively lucent variety of fibrous dysplasia with varying degrees of expansion and surrounding sclerosis.

Cortical Index of the Femoral Neck
Acta Radiologica. Diagnosis, 1977The thickness of the medial cortex of the femoral neck does not decrease with age in the same way as other common parameters of bone mass. However, in women with fracture of the upper end of the femur, it is below normal. The variable, expressed as the cortical index of the femoral neck may have some use in predicting the risk of femoral neck fracture ...
