Abstract
We report a case of bilateral neck of femur fracture in a patient in osteoporotic bone, as a result of a fall from a standing position. A literature review shows all similar fractures are documented to have been associated with high velocity trauma, seizures and/or osteoporosis secondary to steroid use. As far as we are aware this is the first reported case of this fracture pattern in connection with this patient profile and history, which is similar to the vast majority of trauma patients seen.
