Case: A 34-year-old patient was involved in a motorcycle accident, resulting in an anterior hip dislocation associated with an open book pelvic fracture and compression to the femoral artery. He required an emergent closed reduction of the hip dislocation and open reduction and internal fixation of the pelvic fracture.

Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high level of suspicion for anterior hip dislocation, particularly in patients involved in motorcycle accidents, where a flexed, abducted, and externally rotated hip is common.

Bone loss leading to osteoporosis is a well-known feature in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), with the prevalence of osteoporosis varying widely across different studies. However, there is still no consensus on the treatment of osteoporosis in AS patients. A 67-year-old male, a case of AS under medication control, had taken oral bisphosphonate for about seven years for suspected osteoporosis due to compression fracture at T12 and discontinued for disproportionately high dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry T-score (11.

Article Synopsis
  • A 64-year-old woman with a long history of bisphosphonate use experienced a displaced atypical femur fracture due to a fall, requiring surgical intervention.
  • The patient underwent a unique surgical technique that involved removing abnormal bone at the fracture site and securing the bone with an intramedullary nail, while also starting teriparatide therapy post-surgery.
  • Her recovery was notably quick, achieving full fracture healing in 3.5 months, which is significantly faster than the average healing time for atypical femur fractures reported at 10.7 months.
