Bilateral spontaneous fracturing of the femoral neck in a patient with renal osteodystrophy

Abstract: We report a case of bilateral fracturing of the femoral neck in a patient with renal osteodystrophy who was treated by means of osteosynthesis. In this type of patient, there is a need to remain watchful for the possibility of occurrences of spontaneous fracturing of the femoral neck, even if the initial radiographic examination is normal.

“…The decompensated period of chronic renal failure is accompanied by electrolyte and metabolic disorders, and multiple organ system dysfunctions [ 4 ]. Renal-related osteodystrophy predisposes to osteoporosis, osteomalacia and spontaneous fractures [ 5 , 6 ]. Most hip fractures associated with chronic renal failure occur in the elderly.…”

“…SBFNFs in patients on dialysis are relatively rare. To the best of our knowledge, only 10 cases have been reported previously, making our case the 11th (Table 1) [1,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. SBFNFs are usually secondary to seizure disorders [15], trauma [16], electric shock injuries [17], hypovitaminosis D [18], osteoporosis [19], and metabolic diseases.…”
