Stress fractures of the femoral neck are uncommon injury and are often present with groin or hip pain. The diagnosis is easily missed if physician did not pay much attention. Fullerton classified the stress fractures of the femoral neck into compress,tension and displaced type. If displacement of stress fracture of the femoral neck developed,serious complication such as avascular necrosis of femoral head, varus deformity and nonunion may occur even operation was done. Here,we present two young soliders with stress fractures of the femoral neck, The first case was a victim of compression type of stress fracture of left femoral neck, presenting with left hip pain and early diagnosis by bone scan at our hospital. Successful conservative treatment was noted. Another case with a tension type of stress fracture of the right femoral neck. He was missed diagnosis at local medical clinics and leading to a disastrous complication last. It is important to suspect this diagnosis in young active individuals who recently have performed vigorous repetitive activity, or had an increase in frequency or duration of recurrent activity complain of hip pain. |
