Abstract
Osteoarticular complications are common in patients with chronic renal failure and they often require implantation of a hip arthroplasty (total or partial) due to osteoarthritis, femoral neck fracture or ischemic necrosis of multifactor etiology. Hip fracture is a serious social and health problem even in healthy elderly and more and more problematic in patients with chronic diseases like renal failure. In general, clinicians do not have difficulty in diagnosis of a hip fracture because of significant complaints of the patient taking him or her to the emergency room and clinical findings easily to be observed. In this study we report a significantly displaced hip fracture in a patient with renal failure in which the patient did not have the usual complaints like pain and not to be able to walking so the diagnosis was delayed. She just suffered from weakness in left lower extremity and difficulty in walking lasting for about 3 months. A hip arthroplasty was recommended for the patient but she refused the operation for the high risk due to renal failure. We called the case ‘a gentle hip fracture’ which we could not find a similar one in the literature.
