Abstract: Bilateral simultaneous intertrochanteric femur fractures are rare and usually occur as a result of major trauma. In this paper, we present a 76-year old male patient from Turkey referred to the emergency service of our hospital with severe pain and poor mobilization in both hips. There was no history of major trauma. The patient was treated with closed proximal femoral nailing in both hips in the same operation period. At last follow-up, 6 months after surgery, the patient was able to walk with the aid of his children and resumed his previous status, after he had completed an intensive rehabilitation program.
