Introduction Intracapsular femoral neck fractures are one of the most common fractures in Germany. Nevertheless, the epidemiology and treatment modalities are not described comprehensively. For this reason, this study highlights the epidemiology of femoral neck fractures in different age groups and summarizes treatment strategies within the period from 2009 to 2019 based on nationwide data. Materials and methods In this retrospective cohort study all cases of intracapsular femoral neck fractures (ICD-10: S72.0) between 2009 and 2019 in Germany were analyzed with regard to epidemiology, incidence and treatment. Operation and procedure classification system (OPS)- codes in combination with intracapsular femoral neck fracture as main diagnosis were taken to investigation. Data was provided by the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Destatis). Results A total of 807,834 intracapsular femoral neck fractures with a mean incidence of 110.0 per 100,000 inhabitants annually was detected within eleven years. In 68.8% of all fractures patients were female. Most patients were older than 70 years (82.4%), and 56.7% were older than 80 years. The overall increase of fracture numbers between 2009 and 2019 was 23.2%. Joint replacement has been most often performed (80.4%). Hemiarthroplasty (56.8%) and total hip arthroplasty (22.8%) were the most common procedures with an increase of 27.1 and 38.6%, respectively. The proportion of cemented hemiarthroplasties was 86.2% while 51.3% of all total hip arthroplasties were totally or partially cemented. Osteosyntheses were mainly conducted using dynamic compression screws (34.0%), conventional screws (31.3%) and nails (22.2%). Conclusion The incidence of intracapsular femoral neck fractures in Germany has been increasing continuously within the last decade. In particular, patients over 80 years suffered predominantly from this type of fracture. The majority was treated with a joint replacement procedure, mainly cemented hemiarthroplasty.
