title: [A case of stress fracture of the femoral neck].
abstract: A case of 28 years old male with stress fracture of the femoral neck is presented. Heterogeneous clinical picture is blamed for diagnostic problems in the initial stage of the disease. Bone scintigraphy aids in the early diagnosis. The use of low frequency electromagnetic field has had unquestionable effect on shortening of the treatment time in the case reported.
