Acute atraumatic bilateral acetabular insufficiency fractures

Bilateral acetabular fractures have been documented in the setting of high-energy trauma, but few reports regarding atraumatic bilateral acetabular fractures exist. The following is a case report of bilateral insufficiency acetabular fractures which occurred acutely in the absence of trauma in a 49-year-old female. The case highlights the importance of perioperative awareness of those patients at significant risk of insufficiency fractures and offers a relatively elegant, less invasive solution for early mobilization in the context of acetabula insufficiency fractures.
