Incomplete Atypical Femoral Fracture With Severe Bowing Treated by Intramedullary Nail and Corrective Osteotomy

We present the case of an 82-year-old female who had difficulty walking due to right thigh pain caused by incomplete atypical femoral fracture (AFF). The femoral bowing was so severe that intramedullary nail insertion was impossible, so we performed a corrective osteotomy of the femur and inserted t...

description We present the case of an 82-year-old female who had difficulty walking due to right thigh pain caused by incomplete atypical femoral fracture (AFF). The femoral bowing was so severe that intramedullary nail insertion was impossible, so we performed a corrective osteotomy of the femur and inserted the intramedullary nail. Postoperatively, the femoral pain disappeared, and bone fusion was achieved at one year and two months postoperatively. In cases of incomplete AFF with very severe femoral bowing, internal fixation with an intramedullary nail combined with corrective osteotomy of the femur is useful.
