Abstract
Although the presence of intravesical foreign body is not a rare finding, orthopedic screw penetration into the urinary bladder as a complication of the internal fixation of femoral neck fractures is extremely rare. We describe an 83-year-old man experiencing spontaneous penetration of a cannulated screw into the urinary bladder neck, 16 years after the internal fixation surgery for his femoral neck fracture
