Spontaneous bilateral fracture neck of femur secondary to vitamin D deficiency: a case report.

We report a case of a patient who presented with inability to walk for 2 days which was acute in onset, with no history or preceeding trauma. On examination it was found to have stable vitals. Both lower limbs were in the flexed, abducted & externally rotated attitude, with no sensory motor deficit. Radiological investigations revealing osteoporosis and bilateral fracture neck of femur and blood investigations indicated severe vitamin D deficiency. PMID: 26811714 [PubMed]
