ABSTRACT

This case report presents a 48-year-old patient who was diagnosed of bilateral pubic ramus stres fracture in one year period. She was admitted with hip and groin pain. In our case, direct radiography followed by MRI was used for diagnosis. Hyperparathyroidism was detected as a etiological cause. Patient underwent conservative treatment for bilateral stres fractures of pubic ramus with perfect results. Attending to this case report, in patients with non-traumatic groin pain and endocrinological disorders, pubic ramus stress fracture is a diagnosis that should be kept in mind.
