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.
external rotation and shortening of the affected leg, pain on any movement, tenderness on palpation of anterior and lateral aspects of the affectedt hip, the greater trochanter is elevated on the affected side, inability to mobilise.
I should add this injury was during active duty in Basic Training. The soldier is now in AIT and just had a bone scan that revealed the fracture.

A talor neck fracture refers to a fracture of the neck of the talus bone in the ankle, which is crucial for foot and ankle movement. This type of injury often results from high-impact trauma, such as falls or sports accidents. It can lead to complications like avascular necrosis due to the bone's limited blood supply. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for recovery and to prevent long-term complications.
The medical term for a broken neck is cervical fracture. This is a break or fracture of any of the seven cervical vertebrae in the neck. Cervical fractures can and do cause paralysis.
A humeral neck fracture is a break in the upper part of the humerus bone, just below the ball of the shoulder joint. This type of fracture commonly occurs due to falls, especially in older adults, and can affect shoulder mobility and function. Treatment often involves immobilization, physical therapy, or, in some cases, surgical intervention depending on the fracture's severity and displacement. Timely diagnosis and management are crucial for optimal recovery.
Because it has narrow neck.
Femoral neck fractures in adults, particularly those that are intracapsular, are most likely to result in avascular necrosis of the femoral head. This is due to the disruption of the medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries that supply blood to the head of the femur. The risk increases with the degree of displacement and the age of the patient, as older individuals have a reduced capacity for healing and vascular supply. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial to minimize the risk of necrosis.
