We present a unique case of displaced simultaneous bilateral fractures, Garden 3 type, in a 49 year woman treated with non-cemented total hip arthroplasty. The patient showed a Harris hip score of 86 on the right hip and a 81 on the left side on the fourth postoperative year, besides a bilateral Trendelenburg gait, more pronounced on the right side. She needed a cane to walk, and felt pain in the left thigh. The X-ray showed a shortening of 0.9 cm and a left femoral varus. The other arthroplasty components showed good osseointegration and position. We found that the use of the uncemented total hip arthroplasty to treat a simultaneous bilateral fracture in renal osteodystrophy patients has satisfactory results at a four year follow-up. According to the OCEBM Levels of Evidence Working Group, this study is graded as a Level of Evidence IV.
