title: [Spontaneous, bilateral fracture of the collum femoris by diabetic kidney insufficiency].
abstract: Spontaneous, bilateral, atraumatic pains from the hip is seldom regarded as a fracture. Often bilateral hip fracture is caused by a major degree of trauma or after a mechanical fall in elderly with bone disease. The treatment of patients with secondary osteoporosis such as renal osteodystrophy is an interdisciplinary task. Fracture of the collum femoris is also a relevant differential diagnosis in an uncharacteristic syndrome including abdominal pain, pain in the hips when moving, and in patients with severe diabetes.
