Article Synopsis
- Sport-induced injuries, like stress fractures, often affect young, active individuals, particularly runners during intense training or competitions.
- Stress fractures, especially of the femoral neck, can be hard to diagnose due to the patient's age and overall good health, requiring careful monitoring of subtle symptoms.
- A case of a 30-year-old male runner, who developed a complete femoral neck fracture post-marathon, highlights the need for timely intervention to avoid complications and ensure a better recovery outcome.
Background: The use of dual mobility (DM) cups has increased quickly. It is hypothesized that femoral neck taper geometry may be involved in the risk of prosthetic impingement and DM cup revision. We aim to (1) explore the reasons for revision of DM cups or head/liners and (2) explore whether certain femoral neck characteristics are associated with a higher risk of revision of DM cups.
