Bilateral concomitant femoral neck stress fracture in a sedentary patient with anorexia nervosa

摘要

A 27?years old sedentary woman presented bilateral femoral neck stress fractures after having clinically recovered from anorexia nervosa and was treated with bilateral internal fixation.ConclusionAlthough light exercise is usually considered after recovery from anorexia nervosa to improve bone quality, this case of asedentarypatient suggests that weight gain, per se, could increase the stress fracture risk. Because of the physiological and psychological characteristics, these patients should be treated with a multi-disciplinary approach.
