Abstract
Bilateral pathologic femoral neck fractures caused by nonHodgkin's lymphoma occurred consecutively in a 66-year-old man. Spontaneous bony stabilization after initial extensive bone resorption around the femoral stems after hybrid total hip arthroplasties was observed. This is the first well-documented report on bone change around the femoral stems after bilateral total hip arthroplasties in pathologic femoral neck fractures caused by nonHodgkin's lymphoma.
