Primary Total Hip Replacement for a Femoral Neck Fracture in a Below-Knee Amputee
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Femoral neck fracture on amputated limb is an uncommon lesion and challenging to manage. CASE REPORT We report a case of a displaced neck fracture of the left femur in a 57-year-old female. She underwent at the age of the three a below-knee amputation of the ipsilateral limb for post traumatic ischemia. The fracture was managed by a total hip arthroplasty (THA), as a primary procedure. In this article we describe our experience of this unusual entity. CONCLUSION Total hip arthroplasty in patients with lower limb amputation is a challenging and uncommon intervention, especially when it's a primary procedure. It may provide satisfactory outcome, and allows early rehabilitation.
