Case Discussion
There are two distinct categories of femoral neck fractures: intracapsular fractures, including subcapital, transcervical, and basicervical fractures, and extracapsular peri-trochanteric fractures, which encompass intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures. It is essential to differentiate between these types of fractures in order to provide the most appropriate treatment for each patient.
