Summary
A rare fracture occurred after tibial bone graft harvest due to seizures and secondary hyperparathyroidism. This case emphasizes optimizing bone health before surgery to prevent complications.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Bone grafting techniques
- Metabolic bone disease
Background:
- A 60-year-old female experienced a proximal tibia fracture post-autograft harvest for a Cotton osteotomy.
- The fracture resulted from unintentional weightbearing due to psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES).
- Metabolic derangements, specifically secondary hyperparathyroidism, were identified as contributing factors.
