Femoral neck fracture

A femoral neck fracture is a fracture of the femoral neck caused by osteoporosis, degeneration of the hip muscles of the elderly, slow response, or severe trauma. Femoral neck fractures often occur in the elderly. With the increase of life expectancy, the incidence of femoral neck fractures is increasing, especially with the aging of the population. There are two major problems in clinical treatment of fracture nonunion and femoral head ischemic necrosis.
