Femoral Neck Fractures Complicating Metal-on-Metal Resurfaced Hips: A Report of 2 Cases

Femoral Neck Fractures Complicating Metal-on-Metal Resurfaced Hips: A Report of 2 Cases

Metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty is increasingly popular for younger patients with advanced hip disease. Intra-operative or immediate postoperative femoral neck fracture after metal-on-metal hip resurfacing is a well-described technical complication, ranging from 0% to 1.5%. We report 2 c...
