In this high\u2010risk group, early identification, timely diagnosis, and suitable care are crucial for averting major problems and improving results. When sickle cell anemia patients complain with hip or groin discomfort, healthcare practitioners should keep a high index of suspicion for femoral neck stress fractures to assure prompt management and prevent long\u2010term impairment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Abstract<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a prevalent genetic hemoglobinopathy with significant global implications, affecting a substantial portion of the population. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a common complication in SCD, leading to severe joint damage and immobility. This case report is of a 20\u2010year\u2010old male who presented with severe hip pain due to a femoral neck stress fracture, which progressed to a complete fracture. This patient had a past medical history of sickle cell anemia and a malunited subtrochanteric fracture that resulted in shortening, external rotation, and a limping gait. Surgical treatment via subtrochanteric osteotomy with fixation using a dynamic hip screw with or without iliac crest bone graft was planned, with a satisfactory reduction and closure of the fracture gap, postoperatively. In cases of sickle cell anemia patients, bone complications such as both osteonecrosis and stress fractures are common. As a healthcare provider, it is important to manage and address these not only through medical interventions, but also through counseling and patient education. Patients must be reminded about the importance of compliance with medical advice to avoid progression or recurrence of complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.9413","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,3]],"date-time":"2024-09-03T09:51:45Z","timestamp":1725357105000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Femoral neck fracture in sickle cell anemia: A comprehensive case study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ayman Taj Elsir Mustafa","family":"Babiker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics and Traumatology Atbara Teaching Hospital  Atbara Sudan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5882-0090","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yousif Omer Elgaili","family":"Yousif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department Alzaim Alazhari University  Khartoum Sudan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammed Mubarak Mohammed","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics and Traumatology Royal Care International Hospital  Khartoum Sudan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammed Alssir","family":"MohammedAhmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics and Traumatology Ibrahiem Malik Teaching Hospital  Khartoum Sudan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hozifa Mohammed Ali","family":"Abd\u2010Elmaged","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics and Traumatology Alzaiem Alazhari University  Khartoum Sudan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/J.MORPHO.2020.08.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7189\/JOGH.08.021103"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/J.1365-2141.1982.TB01887.X"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/jbjs.17.01593"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/036354658701500107"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-199009030-00006"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/S12178-015-9277-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-199503000-00018"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1077-9108(08)70243-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-018-4001-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3233\/CH-189008"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15406\/mojor.2023.15.00648"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5435\/00124635-199711000-00001"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.52628\/87.1.04"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/JAMA.1964.03060260029006"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.159.2.1632335"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/S10654-009-9381-4"}],"container-title":["Clinical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ccr3.9413","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,12]],"date-time":"2024-12-12T11:23:08Z","timestamp":1734002588000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ccr3.9413"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,9]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/ccr3.9413"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ccr3.9413","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2050-0904","2050-0904"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2050-0904","type":"print"},{"value":"2050-0904","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,9]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2024-04-09","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-08-16","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-09-03","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"e9413"}}
