Subcapital fracture complicating fixation of an intertrochanteric fracture from osteomyelitis
Orthop Rev.
1994 Mar.
Abstract
Subcapital fractures after open reduction and internal fixation of intertrochanteric hip fractures have not previously been attributed to osteomyelitis. We report a unique case of a 63-year-old man with isolated subclinical osteomyelitis of the femoral neck causing ischemic necrosis and subcapital fracture after sliding screw plate fixation of an ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture.
