Primary Total Hip Replacement for a Femoral Neck Fracture in a Below-Knee Amputee.
Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports 2016 July
INTRODUCTION: Femoral neck fracture on amputated limb is an uncommon lesion and challenging to manage.
CASE REPORT: We report a case of a displaced neck fracture of the left femur in a 57-year-old female. She underwent at the age of the three a below-knee amputation of the ipsilateral limb for post traumatic ischemia. The fracture was managed by a total hip arthroplasty (THA), as a primary procedure. In this article we describe our experience of this unusual entity.
CONCLUSION: Total hip arthroplasty in patients with lower limb amputation is a challenging and uncommon intervention, especially when it's a primary procedure. It may provide satisfactory outcome, and allows early rehabilitation.
