Simultaneous Bilateral Extracapsular Proximal Femur Fracture in an 85-year-old Male Patient. A Case Report.

Introduction: Simultaneous and bilateral proximal femoral fractures (PFF) are very rare, and only a few cases have been reported so far. A case of simultaneous and bilateral extra capsular PFF is presented. Case Report: An 85-year-old male patient, who was hit by a car as a pedestrian, was diagnosed with PFF consisting of both an intertrochanteric and a subtrochanteric fracture. He underwent intramedullary fixation for both fractures without any relevant complications and started early mobilization. Conclusion: Simultaneous bilateral extracapsular BFF are very rare therefore PFF management is not well established. Our goal was early total care accompanied with early mobilization and ambulation.
