Abstract

The case report talks about the surgical treatment of bilateral hip osteonecrosis after radiotherapy. The literature is poor on the subject even if a cause-effect correlation is described between radiotherapy and bone necrosis. This clinical case underlines the correlation between pelvic irradiation and radiation-induced fractures due to bone weakening. The evaluation about choice and survival of the implant used is interesting for future comparisons and surgical approach.
