Overview

Case report reveals simultaneous avulsion fractures in a young patient with renal osteodystrophy, highlighting the challenge of fracture risk in chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder.

Key Points

  • Simultaneous avulsion fractures occurred in a young patient, indicating a rare manifestation of renal osteodystrophy.
  • Fractures of the lesser trochanter are typically rare, with most associated with malignancies, emphasizing this case's uniqueness.
  • Radiography, CT, and MRI are essential for assessing avulsion fractures in end-stage renal disease patients, while ultrasound is a supportive tool.
  • Increased fracture risk is prevalent even in mild CKD, underscoring the importance of vigilant monitoring of skeletal health.
