We describe a case of bilateral femoral neck fractures secondary to transient osteoporosis of
pregnancy, which were diagnosed after delivery due to the desire to avoid ionising radiation.
These fractures were presumed to be secondary to transient osteoporosis of pregnancy and
were treated successfully with internal fixation despite delayed presentation. We discuss the
role of MRI in the evaluation of hip pain in pregnancy.
