Sumario:This case report details the symptoms, diagnostic results, and surgical treatment of a 66-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department complaining of excruciating pain in her right leg after being injured while doing Pilates. After an accident involving a ball during a Pilates exercise, the patient reported feeling pain. Upon physical examination, the right leg was found to be shortened and externally rotated, with the foot's sensation and mobility unaffected. A displaced proximal subtrochanteric femur fracture was detected via plain film radiography.
