Fractures of the femoral neck are common in older people in particular. They are mostly caused by falling, but can also occur spontaneously. We distinguish between femoral neck fractures and trochanteric fractures. An immediate inability to walk, severe pain and abnormal leg position are typical symptoms. The risk of falling should be minimised by introducing preventive measures.
