Treatment of a femoral shaft fracture in a patient with congenital hip disease: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION We present a rare case of two concomitant morbidities treated in one operation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of its kind in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION A 57-year-old Greek woman was admitted to the emergency department having sustained a spiral mid-shaft femoral fracture. She also suffered from an ipsilateral hip congenital dysplasia with ankylosed hip joint due to severe arthritis. She was treated with a total hip arthroplasty using a long stem performing as an intramedullary nail. CONCLUSION We undertook a complex operative treatment of both co-morbidities in a one stage procedure with a satisfactory clinical result.
