Abstract:
A femoral neck fracture following surface replacement of the hip has been studied and five potential causes of failure were noted. These consisted of; removal of a hip nail during surgery, use of a too small femoral cup, initial reaming in varus, notching of the femoral neck, and failure to completely seat the cup.
