| Abstrakt: | Case: We present the unique case of a 73-year-old man who was treated 50 years ago with a hemiarthroplasty (HA) for avascular necrosis after a femoral neck fracture (FNF) of his left hip and who has developed only mild osteoarthritis since and has reported satisfactory clinical and functional outcomes with no acetabular erosion. Conclusion: HA for FNFs can provide durable long-term results and can, therefore, be considered as an option in the treatment of FNFs in younger patients. We describe a case with good results after 50 years, which, to our knowledge, is the longest reported follow-up of HA.
