A subtrochanteric femoral fracture 15 years after radiotherapy: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pathological fracture is a rare but serious complication of radiotherapy. We report on a 44-year-old man who presented with a subtrochanteric femoral fracture 15 years after radiotherapy for a soft-tissue sarcoma in the thigh. We discuss its potential causes, a scoring system to identify high-risk patients for prophylactic intramedullary nailing of the femur, and radiographic signs to identify an impending insufficiency fracture.
