By means of one case problems of diagnosis and therapy of fatigue fractures of the fermoral neck are demonstrated and discussed by comparison to recent reports in literature. In case of uncertain diagnosis we recommend surgical revision of the fractured zone with take off of bone tissue for histological examination, especially in order to exclude a malignant bone process.
