We report about an 81-year-old male patient who suffered a medial femoral neck fracture after a fall on the left leg. A total hip arthroplasty was planned based on the appropriate indications. The planning was complicated by the presence of an intramedullary Küntscher femoral nail inserted after a motorcycle incident approximately 60 years ago. After fenestration of the proximal lateral femur, the nail was sawn off and a cemented total hip arthroplasty and plate osteosynthesis were performed.
