title: Bilateral hip fractures associated with transient osteoporosis of pregnancy.
abstract: A case of transient osteoporosis of pregnancy complicated by bilateral neck of femur fractures is reported. We discuss the condition and review the literature, provide information to aid in the diagnostic dilemma clinicians may face when considering imaging techniques and the potential for foetal harm during radiation exposure. We discuss management strategies in such patients.
