Abstract
An 85-year-old woman presented with spontaneous and simultaneous displaced bilateral fracture of the femoral neck. She suffered from nutritional osteomalacia and had had poor exposure to sunlight. Both hips were replaced at the same time by partial hip arthroplasty. (Hip International 2004; 14: 55-7).
