Multiple periprosthetic hip fractures and joint dislocations secondary to seizure are extremely rare, and treatment targets for these injuries should focus on fracture healing and limb function recovery. Craniocerebral operation could bring an elevated risk of seizure; meanwhile, subsequent corticosteroid replacement threapy was complicated by secondary osteoporosis. Therefore, anti-osteoporotic and anti-epileptic therapy should be considered in this type of patients to avoid fracture and dislocation after arthroplasty.
