The treatment of an above knee amputee who has sustained a fracture of the femoral neck is a chal- lenging situation for both the orthopedic surgeon and the rehabilitation team. These fractures may be managed acutely either by reduction and internal fixation or by endoprosthetic replacement based on the same criteria as in any other patient with otherwise intact limbs.We present a neglected case treated successfully with valgus osteotomy. We conclude that these fractures should be treated with the same urgency and expertise as similar fractures in non-amputees as long-term survival and good quality of life can be expected.
对于一名股骨颈骨折的膝上截肢患者，其治疗对于骨科医生和康复团队来说都是一个具有挑战性的情况。这些骨折的急性处理可以根据与其他肢体完好的患者相同的标准，通过复位内固定或假体置换来进行。我们展示了一例通过外翻截骨术成功治疗的被忽视病例。我们得出结论，这些骨折应与非截肢患者的类似骨折一样，以同样的紧迫性和专业知识进行治疗，因为有望获得长期生存和良好的生活质量。
