A femoral neck fracture is also known as the fracture of the thigh bone that occurs just below the ball of the ball-and-socket hip joint. In such a condition, the ball gets disconnected from the rest of the femur. Femoral neck fracture results in groin pain that becomes worse when weight is being put on the injured leg.
