Abstract
Femoral neck fractures occur in approximately 6,000 of young adults annually (ages 18-49) (1). Of these, a
high-energy traumatic event is the typical cause. Although medications and chronic diseases have been implicated as
confounding causes of hip fractures, clinicians should have a high index of suspicion for an oncologic etiology of hip
fractures occurring in young patients without an inciting traumatic event.
Study Design:
A case report and literature search in the English language.
