[Bilateral pertrochanteric spontaneous fracture in chronic alcoholism and liver cirrhosis. A case report].

Abstract

Fractures of the neck or the pertrochanteric region are often treated with dynamic hip screw especially in elderly patients. We give a case report covering treatment and follow-up for a bilateral spontaneous pertrochanteric fracture in a 45-year-old man as a result of hepatogenetic osteopathy.
