UNASSIGNED: We present a case of a 12-year-old Hispanic female who presented to our institution after falling off a horse and landing on her right leg and wrist. Radiographs revealed a right distal femur fracture through an unusually large lytic bone lesion. The patient was treated with curettage, grafting, open reduction, and internal fixation, given the unstable and pathological nature of the fracture.
UNASSIGNED: This case substantiates the literature that large fractures through a NOF can be appropriately managed operatively. However, orthopedic surgeons should be aware of the risks of surgery, including infection, when considering operative management of patients who present with large unstable pathologic fractures through a NOF.
■我们介绍了一个12岁的西班牙裔女性,她从马上摔下来,右腿和手腕上落地后来到我们的机构。放射学照片显示右股骨远端骨折,原因是异常大的溶解性骨病变。病人接受了刮宫治疗,嫁接,开放还原,和内固定,考虑到骨折的不稳定和病理性质。
■该病例证实了通过NOF的大骨折可以通过手术进行适当处理的文献。然而,骨科医生应该意识到手术的风险,包括感染,当考虑对通过NOF出现大型不稳定病理性骨折的患者进行手术治疗时。
