Case 17: A 91-year-old woman. (A) Cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty was performed for treatment of a femoral neck fracture. Wiring was performed at the surgery. (B) A fracture occurred after a fall. Sinking of the stem was observed and the fracture was judged to be Vancouver type B2. (C) Four months after the fracture. Conservative treatment was carried out owing to low activity, low-grade pain, previous wiring around the fracture, and light weight. The previous walking ability was recovered at 1 month after the fracture. Bony union was obtained and the stem sinking never progressed.
