Simultaneous Bilateral Fracture of the Femoral Neck in a Senile Patient: A Case Report

Background. Simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fracture is quite a rare injury. The literature describes single cases of such trauma occurrence as a result of low-energy exposure. The aim is to demonstrate the choice of treatment tactics for a senile patient with simultaneous bilateral fracture...

description Background. Simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fracture is quite a rare injury. The literature describes single cases of such trauma occurrence as a result of low-energy exposure. The aim is to demonstrate the choice of treatment tactics for a senile patient with simultaneous bilateral fracture of the femoral neck. Case description. An 84-year-old patient suffered simultaneous fractures of both femoral necks as a result of a fall from a height of her own height. She was taken to the emergency department of the hospital, where the diagnosis was made based on a clinical and X-ray examination. Within 24 hours from the patient′s admission, after further examination in the department and due to the absence of concomitant pathology decompensation, single-episode sequential bilateral hip arthroplasty was performed using modular monopolar hemiprostheses. The patient was activated on the following day. At the time of discharge, on the 5th day after surgery, the patient was able to move independently using additional support. The treatment result was assessed within 3 and 12 months of follow-up and was found satisfactory. A year after the surgery, the patient moves independently, goes outside with a cane without being accompanied. Conclusions. The described non-standard clinical case should be paid a special attention when choosing the right treatment tactics. An interdisciplinary approach and the use of minimally traumatic surgical treatment techniques to ensure timely activation of a senile patient are the priorities.
