| Core Tip |
Stress fractures of the femoral neck among young adults are extremely rare. They usually result from either fatigue or predisposing conditions that give rise to weakened bones. We present a case of bilateral sequential femoral neck stress fractures in a young adult with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on anti-retroviral therapy, in absence of co-morbidities. Several mechanisms of HIV/anti-retroviral therapy (ART) induced osteopenia and osteoporosis are indicated to have played a role in predisposing our case towards such a presentation. Our case study adds to the paucity of evidence exploring the association between HIV/ART and reduced bone mineral density. Our case highlights the need for screening and prophylactic treatment for osteopenia and osteoporosis coexisting with HIV infection and ART. |
