Spontaneous acetabular fractures are exceptionally rare. This case report details a 70-year-old man with bilateral acetabular fractures due to bone insufficiency, successfully treated with total hip replacement.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Acetabular fractures typically result from high-energy trauma.
  • Spontaneous fractures, particularly bilateral, are exceedingly uncommon in the absence of significant injury.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old male presented with spontaneous, bilateral acetabular fractures.
  • The fractures were attributed to underlying bony insufficiency.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent successful bilateral total hip replacement.
  • This surgical intervention effectively addressed the spontaneous bilateral acetabular fractures.

Implications:

  • Highlights the possibility of spontaneous acetabular fractures in elderly patients with bone compromise.
