System MeshName femur neck MeshNumber A02.835.232.043.650.247.510 DorlandsPre c 46 DorlandsSuf 12249489 The femur neck or neck of the femur is a flattened pyramidal process of bone, connecting the femur head femoral head with the body of femur femoral shaft , and forming with the latter a wide angle opening medialward. Angle of inclination The angle is widest in infancy, and becomes lessened during growth, so that at puberty it forms a gentle curve from the axis of the body of the bone. In the adult, the neck forms an angle of about 125 with the body, but this varies in inverse proportion to the development of the pelvis and the stature. The angle decreases during the period of growth, but after full growth has been attained it does not usually undergo any change, even in old age it varies considerably in different persons of the same age. In the female , in consequence of the increased width of the pelvis, the neck of the femur forms more nearly a right angle with the body than it does in the male . It is smaller in short than in long bones, and when the pelvis is wide. In addition to projecting upward and medialward from the body of the femur, the neck also projects somewhat forward the amount of this forward projection is extremely variable, but on an average is from 12 to 14 . Structure The neck is flattened from before backward, contracted in the middle, and broader laterally than medially. The vertical diameter of the lateral half is increased by the obliquity of the lower edge, which slopes downward to join the body at the level of the lesser trochanter, so that it measures one third more than the antero posterior diameter.

The head is globular and forms rather more than a hemisphere, is directed upward, medialward, and a little forward, the greater part of its convexity being above and in front. Its surface is smooth, coated with cartilage in the fresh state, except over an ovoid depression, the fovea capitis femoris , which is situated a little below and behind the center of the head, and gives attachment to the ligament of head of femur . If there is a fracture of the neck of the femur, the blood supply through the ligament becomes crucial.
