Abstract

Simultaneous insufficiency fracture of bilateral neck of femur with displacement and coxa vara is very uncommon , and very challenging. Osteomalacia is a known cause of insufficiency fracture. We present a case of a young female with non traumatic simultaneous bilateral femur neck fracture. On radiological and laboratory investigation fracture was diagnosed as insufficiency fracture due to osteomalacia with coxa vara. Treatment was done by intertrochanteric valgus osteotomy and fixation by dynamic condylar screw with a prebend plate along with oral and parentral vitamin D therapy. On six month follow up both side fractures were well united and patient was able to walk without pain with full weight bearing and with normal gait .Her lab investigations also returned to normal during follow up.
