A subcapital femoral neck fracture is a type of hip fracture that occurs just below the femoral head, within the neck of the femur. This injury is common in older adults, often resulting from falls or low-energy trauma, and may lead to complications such as avascular necrosis due to disrupted blood supply. Symptoms typically include hip pain, difficulty bearing weight, and limited range of motion. Treatment often involves surgical intervention, such as fixation or hip replacement, depending on the fracture's severity and the patient's overall health.
