Periprosthetic Intertrochanteric Fracture between Hip Resurfacing and Retrograde Nail.

ABSTRACT: Periprosthetic femur fractures present a growing worldwide challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Fractures around a hip resurfacing implant create unique management problems. When considering fixation, there can be limited options for ideal stabilization and some require creative constructs. We present an interesting case of a periprosthetic intertrochanteric femur fracture between a hip resurfacing implant and retrograde intramedullary nail.
