Chronic kidney disease presenting with bilateral spontaneous femoral neck fracture: A case report

Abstract

Bone and mineral metabolism disorders are common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). These patients are susceptible to fractures. Bilateral femoral neck fracture secondary to renal osteodystrophy is a rare complication. We report a case of CKD with bilateral spontaneous femoral neck fracture associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism and osteoporosis.
