Ten-Year Follow-Up Study of Missed, Simultaneous, Bilateral Femoral-Neck Fractures Treated by Bipolar Arthroplasties in a Patient With Chronic Renal Failure

Abstract

Fracture of the femoral neck associated with seizure disorders is uncommon. Bilateral fractures of the femoral neck are exceedingly rare. Early recognition of the fracture is essential. A patient with unrecognized bilateral femoral-neck fractures with nonunion was successfully treated by bilateral, bipolar hip arthroplasty.
