The fracture was managed by a primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). The post-operative course was uneventful. There was no infection, deep vein thrombosis, dislocation, or any other complication.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Over one-year follow-up demonstrated that the patient while wearing the prosthetic limb received satisfactory and functional use of normal activities. The patient achieved a good functional outcome with a Harris Hip Score at 86\/100. To date, the patient has returned to normal activities without symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Treating femoral neck fractures in homolateral above-Knee amputees is challenging.
