Connection of a hip prosthesis and an intramedullary nail as a special solution in a subtrochanteric femoral fracture with fibrous dysplasia.
Treatment of fractures associated with fibrous dysplasia is difficult because of poor bone quality. In a brief report we present a case in which a hip prosthesis is connected with the distal part of a broken cannulated intramedullary femur nail. Postoperatively, the patient was mobilized with full weight bearing. Radiographs proved the correct position of the implant and a favorable clinical function could be achieved.
