Bilateral femoral neck fractures after an epileptic attack

Abstract

Femoral neck fractures should be suspected in patients with epilepsy who present with severe pain in both hips and an inability to walk. Stainless steel implants can be used for treatment. The viability of the femoral head should be evaluated by scintigraphy. Bone mineral density should be monitored in patients who use anti-epileptic drugs, and internal fixation is preferred in the treatment of femoral neck fractures.
