Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Spontaneous bilateral neck femur fracture occurs following many conditions. It is very rare event. It can be seen in young, middle aged, and elderly people with no preceding trauma. We report a case in middle aged person who got fracture secondary to chronic liver disease and Vitamin D3 deficiency and who underwent bilateral hemiarthroplasty. CASE REPORT: A 46-year-old man came with sudden onset of bilateral hip pain with no history of trauma. It was started with difficulty in moving the left lower limb since February 2020 and after about 1-month period patient got right hip pain which made the patient completely bedridden. He also complained of yellowish discoloration of eyes associated with weight loss, malaise. No history of tremors in hand. No history of seizures. CONCLUSION: It is a not a common condition. Spontaneous bilateral neck femur fracture occurs following chronic liver disease and Vitamin D3 deficiency. Both these conditions lead to increase osteoporosis and osteomalacia thus making it more susceptible to fracture.
