Body of femur
The body of the femur (or shaft), almost cylindrical in form, is a little broader above than in the center, broadest and somewhat flattened from before backward below.

Capsule of hip joint
The articular capsule (capsular ligament) is strong and dense.

Coxa valga
Coxa valga is a deformity of the hip where the angle formed between the head and neck of the femur and its shaft is increased, usually above 135 degrees.
New!!: Femur neck and Coxa valga · See more »
Coxa vara
Coxa vara is a deformity of the hip, whereby the angle between the head and the shaft of the femur is reduced to less than 120 degrees.

Deformity
A deformity, dysmorphism, or dysmorphic feature is a major abnormality in the shape of a body part or organ compared to the normal shape of that part.

Femoral head
The femoral head (femur head or head of the femur) is the highest part of the thigh bone (femur).

Femur
The femur (pl. femurs or femora) or thigh bone, is the most proximal (closest to the hip joint) bone of the leg in tetrapod vertebrates capable of walking or jumping, such as most land mammals, birds, many reptiles including lizards, and amphibians such as frogs.

Garden classification
The Garden classification is a system of categorizing intracapsular hip fractures of the femoral neck.

Greater trochanter
The greater trochanter (great trochanter) of the femur is a large, irregular, quadrilateral eminence and a part of the skeletal system.

Hip
In vertebrate anatomy, hip (or "coxa"Latin coxa was used by Celsus in the sense "hip", but by Pliny the Elder in the sense "hip bone" (Diab, p 77) in medical terminology) refers to either an anatomical region or a joint.

Hip fracture
A hip fracture is a break that occurs in the upper part of the femur (thigh bone).
New!!: Femur neck and Hip fracture · See more »
Hip replacement
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant, that is, a hip prosthesis.

Intertrochanteric crest
The intertrochanteric crest is a bony ridge located on the posterior side of the head of the femur, stretching obliquely downward and medially from the summit of the greater trochanter to the lesser trochanter.

Male
A male (♂) organism is the physiological sex that produces sperm.

Old age
Old age refers to ages nearing or surpassing the life expectancy of human beings, and is thus the end of the human life cycle.
New!!: Femur neck and Old age · See more »
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease where increased bone weakness increases the risk of a broken bone.
New!!: Femur neck and Osteoporosis · See more »
Pathologic fracture
A pathologic fracture (also called insufficiency fracture) is a bone fracture caused by disease that led to weakness of the bone structure.

Puberty
Puberty is the process of physical changes through which a child's body matures into an adult body capable of sexual reproduction.

Traffic collision
A traffic collision, also called a motor vehicle collision (MVC) among other terms, occurs when a vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or other stationary obstruction, such as a tree, pole or building.

Valgus deformity
In orthopedics, a valgus deformity is a condition in which the bone segment distal to a joint is angled outward, that is, angled laterally, away from the body's midline.
New!!: Femur neck and Valgus deformity · See more »
Varus deformity
In orthopedics, a varus deformity is an inward angulation (medial angulation, that is, towards the body's midline) of the distal segment of a bone or joint.
