Abstract
Femoral neck stress fractures are infrequent. They are more prevalent among athletes, with women being at a higher risk. A 29-year-old female amateur CrossFit athlete complained of right-sided groin pain after a high intensity training. An X-ray showed no signs of acute lesions, but further CT scan and MRI revealed a compression-type femoral neck stress fracture. The patient underwent conservative treatment, restricting full weight-bearing during six weeks. She became asymptomatic at four months and returned to sports at six months. Follow-up imaging confirmed fracture union. This diagnosis is crucial when assessing athletes, including amateurs, as early recognition is vital due to high complication and morbidity rates.
