A Non-Traumatic Avulsion Fracture of the Lesser Trochanter: Other Diagnosis Not to Be Missed
Praxis (Bern 1994).
2021 Feb.
Abstract
In adults, an isolated non-traumatic fracture of the lesser trochanter should arouse strong suspicion of an underlying malignant pathology. In this article, we present the case of a 55-year-old male patient who presented with a non-traumatic isolated fracture of the lesser trochanter secondary to a delayed diagnosis of metastases of bronchial carcinoma.
Keywords: Bronchialkarzinom; Lesser trochanter; Trochanter minor; bronchial carcinoma; pathological fracture; pathologische Fraktur.
