Bilateral femoral neck fractures after electrical injury: a case report and literature review.

Simultaneous bilateral fractures of the femoral necks are rare injuries, especially when there is no underlying pathologic condition. A review of the literature revealed only 10 cases of this injury as a result of trauma, only one of which was due to accidental electric shock. A second case in which such an injury was caused by accidental electric shock is presented here. It is important to be aware of this injury and to diagnose it early to avoid the increased risk of complications after a delay in diagnosis or treatment.
