2010 Acetabular retroversion in military recruits with femoral neck stress fractures CORR Open Access

Acetabular retroversion (AR) alters load distribution across the hip and is more prevalent in pathologic conditions involving the hip. We hypothesized the abnormal orientation and mechanical changes may predispose certain individuals to stress injuries of the femoral neck. We retrospectively reviewed the anteroposterior (AP) pelvic radiographs of 54 patients (108...

Femoral Neck Fractures in Young Adults

Femoral neck fractures in the young adult are a different type of fracture than those seen in the elderly. These younger patients have normal bone density. A simple fall is not going to break the femoral neck. These fractures require high energy type injury mechanisms, and greater than 50% of... Expert

Femoral Neck Stress and Insufficiency Fractures eMedicine Orthopedics

Wildstein & Schutte 2007
Femoral neck stress fractures are a common cause of hip pain in select populations. Chronic, repetitive activity that is common to runners and military recruits predisposes these populations to femoral neck stress fractures. These injuries must be differentiated from insufficiency fractures, which, although similar in appearance and...
