Fractured femoral neck

The femoral neck heals very slowly, and during a fracture, the blood supply to the femoral head can be disrupted, which often causes necrosis. In the case when the fracture does not heal for a long time, arthroplasty is used.

Osteoporosis is a disease in which calcium and phosphorus are gradually washed out of these bones, which in turn reduces tissue density. This disease has symptomsno, and it manifests itself only with fractures, since the bones grow together more slowly, and the person experiences more discomfort.
