1. Abstract
No description currently exists of fatigue fracture of the femoral neck complicated by breakage of the stabilizing screw. A 55-year-old man was operated on due to a hip dislocation with a type II Pipkin femoral head fracture after a road accident. Eleven months after the initial surgery, the patient returned to the clinic with severe pain not associated with any previous trauma. The radiographs revealed a fracture of the femoral neck, and a fracture of the screw stabilizing the fracture of the femoral head.
