A Pathological Fracture of the Femoral Neck Revealing Villonodular Synovitis
Villonodular synovitis is a rare disease of the synovial tissue occurring most commonly in synovial joints such as the knee and ankle joints. We report the case of a patient presenting with villonodular synovitis of the hip revealed by a pathological fracture of the femoral neck, discussing our diagnostic and therapeutic approach with recent scientific data.
