Bilateral Atypical Tension-sided Femoral Neck Stress Fractures in a Military Recruit. Mil Med. 2021 Jan 12;: Authors: Heig T, Mombell K, Deafenbaugh B Abstract A case report of a Marine Recruit with bilateral atypical tensile-sided femoral neck stress fracture. The patient was treated nonoperatively with protected weightbearing following an established protocol that included close observation with serial exams and advanced imaging. He recovered uneventfully and was able to return to running. He was eventually diagnosed with bilateral femoral acetabular impingement syndrome at the end of his treatment course demonstrating a growing association warranting further investigation.
