Osteoporosis-Related Simultaneous Four Joints Fractures and Dislocation after a Seizure : A Case Report

Abstract EN

A case of steroid-induced osteoporosis-related multiple fractures and dislocations are described after a seizure is reported.

Patient had two years history of steroid use with no supplement or antiresorptive therapy.

There was a delay in the diagnosis which affected an otherwise good outcome in such situations.

It is recommended that patients on steroid should be given calcium, vitamin D, and an antiresorptive.

Furthermore, a meticulous clinical examination is required in patients who are on steroids and suffer epileptic seizures to rule out skeletal injury.
