Concomitant occult fractures of the implant itself are very rare. We report on two patients admitted to our institution and who were previously treated with similar types of short-stem total hip arthroplasty (THA). Both were unable to walk after an adequate trauma, although the initial admitting hospital misdiagnosed the exact diagnosis. Detailed reexamination later revealed a prosthetic neck fracture of the cement-free stem. Both patients were treated with a stem revision. In THA patient, special attention should be drawn to the implants after relevant trauma. A single examination shortly after trauma seems to be insufficient to diagnose implant-related injuries. A secondary follow-up several weeks after trauma, including at least X-rays, has to be recommended.
