Abstract
Pathologic femoral neck fracture secondary to renal osteodystrophy is uncommon. Bilateral occurrence is even rarer. Thus, the treatment is controversial. We presented two cases with bilateral femoral neck fractures. The etiology and the way of treatment is discussed under the light of current literature.
