Abstract
Fracture of the femoral neck associated with seizure disorders is uncommon. Bilateral fractures of the femoral neck are exceedingly rare. Early recognition of the fracture is essential. A patient with unrecognized bilateral femoral-neck fractures with nonunion was successfully treated by bilateral, bipolar hip arthroplasty.
