Hip Fracture in a Patient with Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Medical and Surgical Lessons
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hyperparathyroidism is a condition which can be primary, secondary or tertiary and is characterized by increased calcium levels, low phosphate levels, and elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Primary hyperthyroidism can cause severe bone resorption leading to bone pains and pathological fracture. We present the case of a patient with severe primary hyperparathyroidism with an atraumatic fracture at the neck of the femur and multiple medical comorbidities presenting a surgical challenge. While primary hyperparathyroidism is rare, it should be considered during differential diagnoses.
