Femoral neck fracture - more than just a bone that heals

Femoral neck fracture

A femoral neck fracture - medically known as a proximal femoral fracture - is one of the most common fractures in old age. Fall, sudden pain, operation, rehabilitation. At first glance, a clear sequence of events. And yet this fracture often starts more than just a physical healing process.

For many patients, a femoral neck fracture marks a threshold: between mobility and the need for care. Between independence and dependence. Between trust in their own body - and fear of the next fall.
