Femoral neck information

The femoral neck (femur neck or neck of the femur) is a flattened pyramidal process of bone, connecting the femoral head with the femoral shaft, and forming...

The femoral head (femur head or head of the femur) is the highest part of the thigh bone (femur). It is supported by the femoral neck. The head is globular...
