Less likely without a trauma.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A stress fracture of hip is not likely to turn into a full fracture of hip only with wear and tear. If there is an added trauma to the area then it can turn into a full fracture. Persistent pain and arthritic changes are the more common problems associated with it.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
