Simultaneous bilateral neck femur fracture is a rare entity that has been associated with underlying bone disease, various metabolic diseases, high-energy trauma, and seizure disorders. Its occurrence following minimal trauma is very rare. This article presents the case of a 66-year-old female who sustained bilateral intracapsular fracture neck femur following a slip and fall at home. Single-stage bilateral cemented total hip replacement was done using a direct lateral approach with alternate right and left lateral positions. The authors report a satisfactory outcome, with Harris hip score of 98 at one year, which persisted until her last follow-up at 30 months.

Musculoskeletal injuries such as dislocation of the shoulder and hip joints and fractures of the femoral neck are known complications of seizures. Bilateral central subluxation of the hip joint with associated bilateral quadrilateral plate fracture is a rare entity and is prone to delayed diagnosis, even more so in patients who experience post-seizure disorientation. The authors report the case of a 74-year-old male patient with bilateral central subluxation of the hip joint with associated bilateral quadrilateral plate fracture due to seizure activity. Bilateral open reconstruction and fixation of the quadrilateral plate with a 3.5-mm pre-bent reconstruction plate reinforced with 3.5-mm pelvic brim reconstruction plate was performed. In conclusion, this case is an example of rare bilateral quadrilateral plate fracture caused due to seizure activity, a fracture for which a high level of suspicion should be kept in mind while evaluating the patient post-seizure episode.

Objective: CLS stem is commonly used today in primary hip arthroplasty, but only a few studies have evaluated their outcome in young high demanding patients. In Indian scenario, many patients require squatting and sitting cross-legged as part of their daily activities placing excessive load on the joint. We evaluated (I) Mid-long term functional and radiological results (II) Influence of age, gender, diagnosis, stem alignment, Canal fill index (CFI) on the outcome (III) Kaplan-Meier survivorship using revision for any reason or for aseptic loosening as an endpoint. Methods: Retrospective evaluation of 64 THA in 54 patients operated between July 2000 to July 2011 using CLS stem was done. Mean follow-up was 10.3 years (5-14.9 years) with 5 patients lost to follow-up and 4 patients died. Mean age at surgery was 46.8 years (18-78 years). Results: Mean Harris hip score was 89.4 (72-100). Thigh pain was present in 4 hips which were not associated with the sizing of the stem (p = .489). Stable fixation by bony ingrowth was seen in 53 hips (96.4%) and by fibrous ingrowth in 2 cases (3.6%) with no case of loosening seen. Stress shielding was seen as Grade II in 17 hips (30.9%), Grade III in 3 hips (5.4%). Pedestal formation was seen in 9 hips (16.4%) which were statistically associated with varus alignment and CFI < 80. No stem revision was performed with stem survivorship of 100%. Conclusion:The mid-term survival rates and good clinical-radiological outcomes of CLS stem in high demanding Indian population were excellent.
