Femoral neck fracture in the absence of trauma is a rare, but known complication after hardware removal. This complication may be due to the boney defect created by the hardware removal itself, or the increase in femoral neck strain that occurs after removal of the hardware. Previous biomechanical studies have suggested that filling the defect with calcium phosphate cement after removal of hardware may prevent the development of a femoral neck fracture. However, there are no reports on the use of calcium phosphate cement after removal of hardware in the clinical setting. The purpose of this case discussion is to present the first reported case, to our knowledge, of the use of calcium phosphate cement augmentation of the boney defect after lag screw removal, and the subsequent failure resulting in atraumatic femoral neck fracture.
无创伤情况下的股骨颈骨折是取出内固定后一种罕见但已知的并发症。这种并发症可能是由于取出内固定本身造成的骨缺损,或者是取出内固定后股骨颈应变增加所致。以往的生物力学研究表明,取出内固定后用磷酸钙骨水泥填充缺损可能预防股骨颈骨折的发生。然而,在临床环境中,尚无关于取出内固定后使用磷酸钙骨水泥的报道。本病例讨论的目的是介绍据我们所知首例报道的在拉力螺钉取出后使用磷酸钙骨水泥增强骨缺损,随后失败并导致无创伤性股骨颈骨折的病例。
