ABSTRACT
CASE We present an unusual case of bilateral femoral neck fatigue fractures in a 28-year-old pregnant woman at the 18th week of gestation successfully treated through operative intervention involving consecutive total hip arthroplasty and internal fixation within the same procedure, resulting in favorable clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION:
Current clinical practices suggest that a restricted use of plain radiographs, even those involving the pelvis in pregnant women carries a minimal risk to the fetus and is not contraindicated. Magnetic resonance imaging proved valuable for differential diagnosis, contrasting with sonography.
