A case is presented of a stress fracture of the femoral neck complicated by complete fracture. Additional complications arose when the repaired fracture went on to non-union due to bending of the DHS screw, requiring revision surgery with a valgus osteotomy. The case is important because this type of stress fracture has previously been considered to be safe from risk of complete fracture. The failure of the operative treatment has implications for young patients treated similarly.
