title: [Bilateral femoral neck fracture after seizure].
abstract: Femoral neck fractures after seizure are rare. This injury can easily be underdiagnosed due to generalised, musculoskeletal pain after seizure. In case of persisting groin pain and limited range of motion X-rays are indicated. Within the first 6 hours after the trauma a joint-preserving therapy is possible. After a delayed diagnosis total hip arthroplasty is necessary. As the result of prolonged intra-articular haematoma the incidence of a femoral head necrosis increases. When choosing the implant, an elevated risk of joint dislocation should be considered.
