Abstract

Spontaneous bilateral hip fractures are very rare. They may occur secondary to several metabolic disorders. We report a 28-year-old male patient who developed spontaneous bilateral femoral neck fractures and a displaced intertrochanteric femoral fracture on the left. The fractures were thought to occur following an epileptic seizure and on the basis of osteomalacia associated with anticonvulsant treatment for long years. He was treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Union was documented in the postoperative third month. He was allowed to walk in the sixth month without any support. On control examination in the 18th month, he was found to perform all his daily activities without support, except for inherent limitations due to his blindness.

Özet

Kendiliğinden iki taraflı kalça kırığı son derece nadir bir patolojidir. Çeşitli metabolik bozukluklara bağlı gelişebilir. Yirmi sekiz yaşındaki erkek hastada, eşzamanlı oluşan iki taraflı femur boyun ve sağ intertrokanterik femur deplase kırığı saptandı. Kırıkların nöbet sonrasında ve uzun süredir düzensiz alınan antikonvulsan ilaçlara bağlı osteomalazi zemininde meydana geldiği düşünüldü. İki kalçaya açık redüksiyon ve internal fiksasyon uygulandı. Ameliyat sonrası üçüncü ayda radyografik kaynama görüldü. Hastanın altıncı ayda herhangi bir yardımcı destek olmaksızın yürümesine izin verildi. On sekizinci ayda yapılan kontrollerde, hastanın herhangi bir kısıtlama olmaksızın ve destek kullanmaksızın, görme özürü nedeniyle kısıtlanan aktiviteleri dışında her türlü işi yapabildiği öğrenildi.
