Abstract EN
Neck of femur fractures are a ubiquitous injury seen by orthopaedic surgeons.
In the elderly, these fractures usually occur after a low energy fall, and are invariably unilateral injuries.
Bilateral neck of femur fractures have been reported in patients with metabolic bone disease, after electroconvulsive therapy, and in association with stress fractures.
The otherwise healthy index patient in this case report presented most unusually, with simultaneous, bilateral neck of femur fractures that were sustained during a seizure.
