</script>The femoral neck, which is situated between the femoral head and the trochanters of the thigh, is divided into three sections. The medial region is defined as the area between the femoral head and the field of maximal tapering. Adjacent is situated the lateral region of the femoral neck. The intersection to the trochanters is called the basocervical region, which is outside of the hip joint capsule. Therefore, a basocervical hip fracture is classified as a trochanteric fracture. Medial femoral neck fractures are intracapsular fractures, whereas lateral fractures occur around the insertion of the hip joint capsule. Furthermore, subcapital fractures run next to the border of the femoral head and are a subgroup of the medial femoral neck fractures [1, 2]
