Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Transient osteoporosis of pregnancy is a rare condition causing bone density loss during late gestation.
  • Occult hip fractures in pregnancy require accurate diagnosis for appropriate management.

Observation:

  • A 37-year-old pregnant woman at 38 weeks gestation presented with an occult hip fracture.
  • Initial investigations included MRI, followed by PET-CT post-cesarean section, which ruled out malignancy.

Findings:

  • The fracture was attributed to transient osteoporosis of pregnancy, confirmed by undetectable vitamin D levels and pathology.
  • The patient required total hip arthroplasty for fracture management.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • This case highlights the importance of considering transient osteoporosis of pregnancy in pregnant women with hip pain and fractures.
  • Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management involving endocrinology are crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
