Abstract
Objective: Patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD) develop secondary osteoporosis, which increases fracture risk. We report a case of insufficiency fractures complicated by secondary osteoporosis caused by chronic renal failure and gastrectomy.
Patient: A 78-year-old man with a medical history of nephrotic syndrome and gastric cancer experienced an occult intertrochanteric fracture of his left femur after falling.
Results: Ten days after the first fracture, the patient was treated with hemodialysis for acute uremic symptoms. Eight weeks after this fracture, he sustained a right insufficiency acetabular fracture and was treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Conclusion: For patients with CKD, effective fracture prevention is difficult. THA with reconstruction of the acetabulum was an effective therapy in a patient with nontraumatic central fracture dislocation of the hip.
