The correct answer is the neck of the femur.

The neck of the femur or femoral neck is the structure which connects the femoral head with the femoral shaft.

The fracture of the hip often occurs due to osteoporosis. It is a fragility fracture due to a fall in someone with weakened osteoporotic bone.
