Abstract
A case of pathologic femoral fracture in a patient with Gaucher's disease is presented. The fracture occurred at the site of bioptic trepanation performed 1 month previously. After fracture healing and removal of a Küntscher nail, pathologic fracture recurred at the same site. The paper emphasizes the value of "biological" internal fixation for the preservation of compromised blood flow in the bones of patients with Gaucher's disease.
