Core Tip

Core Tip: Spontaneous bilateral femoral neck fracture is a very rare entity and may develop in association with metabolic diseases, bone diseases, high-energy traumas, and epileptic seizures. It should be predicted that complications such as nonunion, loss of reduction, and avascular necrosis may develop secondary to these fractures, which are theoretically considered to be associated with metabolic diseases.
