Hemiarthroplasty of the Hip in a 52-Year-old Patient with Osteogenesis Imperfecta-Related Femoral Neck Fracture: A Case Report.
Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports 2018 September
Introduction: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)-related femoral neck fractures are rare. This is rarely described in the literature. This article presents a way to surgically treat such a fracture.
Case Report: We describe the case of a 52-year-old patient with OI Type III with a displaced femoral neck fracture with varus deformity. We performed a hemiarthroplasty of the hip with valgus and shortening osteotomy of the proximal femoral shaft.
Conclusion: The incidence of OI is 1 in 10,000-,000 births. People suffering from OI are known to be at more risk of fractures. Due to the bone deformity and weakness, treatment of fractures in patients with OI is a big challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Combined osteotomy and hemiarthroplasty is a reliable technique to treat a femoral neck fracture in a patient with typical OI-related varus deformity of the femora.
