Sumario:Stress fractures may occur at various sites in the femur including the head, neck, shaft, supracondylar and condylar regions.

We report here a case of trochanteric stress fracture in a 53-year-old female window cleaner treated with hip nailing without adverse consequences. Careful consideration of this entity is needed when evaluating patients who have repetitive jumping up and down.
