Femoral Neck Stress Fracture

Unilateral stress fractures of the femoral neck are very uncommon and bilateral involvement is even rarer. They commonly occur in athletes, military recruits, older persons, or individuals with underlying metabolic disorders and very seldom in normal individuals. We present a rare case of simultaneous bilateral fracture neck of femur in a 25-year-old man who came with complaints of pain in bilateral groin for 1 month. There was no history of trauma or history suggestive of excessive activity prior to the onset of pain, but there was history of lifting heavy weights daily. On evaluation with MRI scan bilateral fracture of the femur neck was diagnosed and patient was operated on bilaterally with internal fixation done using dynamic hip screw. Patient then regained his routine activity over a period of 6 months and on follow-up at 1 year no avascular necrosis changes were seen in the femur head. We presented this case because of its unusual presentation and the diagnostic challenge it poses.

Bilateral Hip Fractures

Simultaneous bilateral hip fractures are exceedingly rare and usually occur following a seizure. To our knowledge, only 22 cases of such injuries have been reported in the literature during the past forty years and the majority of fractures are treated with open reduction and internal fixation. We present a case of a 66-year old man with Down syndrome and severe dementia who was diagnosed with bilateral displaced femoral neck fractures following an epileptic seizure. He was treated with single staged bilateral uncemented monopolar hemi-arthroplasties through lateral Hardinge approaches. The treatment choice was governed by fracture displacement, the lack of pre-existing osteoarthritis, length of time to diagnosis, the patient’s age, ambulatory status and mental impairment, with the intention to minimize post-operative complications such as avascular necrosis, non-union and hip dislocation.
