Osteopetrosis is a rare inherited skeletal disorder characterized by increased density. The increased fragility of such dense bone results in a greater incidence of fractures, especially around hip and proximal femur. The surgical treatment of such fractures is difficult due to hard but brittle structure of bone. Herein we report a case of bilateral subtrochanteric fracture in an osteopetrotic patient. It was fixed using a dynamic hip screw with plate.
骨质石化症是一种罕见的遗传性骨骼疾病,其特征是骨密度增加。这种致密骨的脆性增加导致骨折发生率更高,尤其是在髋部和股骨近端周围。由于骨骼坚硬但易碎的结构,此类骨折的手术治疗很困难。在此,我们报告一例骨质石化症患者的双侧转子下骨折病例。采用动力髋螺钉加钢板进行固定。
