✦ Synopsis

Osteonecrosis and acute collapse of the femoral head occurred in a 79-year-old woman with a history of femoral neck fracture sustained 28 years previously The occurrence of radiographic signs and clinical symptoms was associated with new functional demands on the hip because of a recent contralateral hip fracture The femoral head collapse necessitated total hip arthroplasty Determination of femoral head vitality at the time of arthroplasty implicated partial avascularity of the head as a cause of the collapse With high probability, this partial avascularity was induced by the femoral neck fracture sustained 28 years earlier.

The fracture toughness of the right femoral neck, femoral shaft, and tibial shaft of matched cadaveric bones, ages 50 to 90 years, was compared. Results of this study indicate that tensile (G Ic ) and shear (G IIc ) fracture toughness vary depending on bone location. The femoral neck has the greates
