Abstract: Bilateral simultaneous femur neck fracture in a young patient due to an episode of seizure: A rare case report - Bilateral neck fractures are pretty rare injuries that usually happen because of bone diseases, metabolic issues, high-energy trauma, & seizure disorders. When both sides have femoral neck fractures at the same time? That's really uncommon! There are just a few medical papers talking about this type of injury related to seizures. You often read about post-seizure injuries like vertebral fractures or dislocated shoulders. Here, we're sharing the case of a 21-year-old guy who got bilateral neck fractures in his femur after having a seizure at home. He was treated with a single-stage bilateral dynamic hip screw (DHS) operation done from the side on a traction table using a de-rotation screw for the right side. This case aims to make orthopaedic surgeons, neurologists, and emergency doctors more aware of these rare injuries. Keywords: Neck femur fracture, Tonic clonic seizure, Convulsion.
