Özet
Concurrent two-sided femoral neck stress fracture (FNSK) is very rare in young patients. A limited number of cases have been reported in the literature. The majority of them are; soldiers, athletes, epileptic patients, and elderly/middle-aged patients with bone pathology. Our case differs from literature due to a concurrent bilateral femur neck fracture diagnosed late of a healthy young mine worker who is not an athlete. This report aims to emphasize the challenge of diagnosing bilateral femoral neck fractures in young miners and demonstrating excellent healing (without avascular necrosis) of the head with stable fixation even though the critical period of 48 hours has been spent. © 2021, Pamukkale University.
