The cardioversion therapy is an extremely rare cause of this type of fracture. Presentation of case We report the case of a woman with hip fracture after cardioversion. Discussion We discuss the production mechanism of this injury and the importance of the care of the osteoporotic bone under these therapies. Conclusion The propofol sedation should be complemented with skeletal muscle relaxants in the cardioversion therapy to avoid hip fracture in select patients with osteoporosis. 000061308 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000061308 592__ $$a0.26$$b2017 000061308 593__ $$aSurgery$$c2017$$dQ3 000061308 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000061308 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-4489-3130$$aAlbareda, J.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000061308 700__ $$aEzquerra, L. 000061308 7102_ $$11004$$2830$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
