Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Bone Pathology

Background:

Pathologic subtrochanteric femur fractures present unique challenges.
Fibrous dysplasia of bone can weaken the femur, increasing fracture risk.

Observation:

A case of pathologic subtrochanteric fracture in a femur affected by fibrous dysplasia was observed.
The fracture was successfully managed using a specific surgical approach.

Findings:

Condylocephalic nailing combined with bone grafting proved effective for this complex fracture.
This surgical intervention achieved successful union and stability.

Implications:

This treatment method is a viable option for pathologic subtrochanteric fractures.
The procedure's success suggests broader applicability for fractures secondary to bone tumors.
