Özet
Background: Bilateral femur neck fracture is a very rarely seen situation. Traumas rarely result in such fracture. The aim of this study was to highlight the importance of naked examination of a patient in trauma cases and to report a bilateral femoral neck fracture due to a fall, rarely seen in literature. Case Report: A five-year-old girl was admitted to the department. The case, diagnosed as bilateral femur neck fracture due to a fall after being pushed with force by her sibling and falling from a high place, is reported and a literature review was carried out. The fractures were not diagnosed in the hospital she was first taken to. Conclusions: Thorough physical examination of such trauma patients is extremely important. Traumatic bilateral femur neck fracture is very rarely seen in younger children. © The American Journal of Case Reports, 2010.
