Femoral Neck Fractures in Osteopetrosis

Abstract

Technical difficulties with histopathologic union abnormalities in patients with osteopetrosis often cause to emerge complications. In this paper we present a case who operated first with Knowles pin, then angular plate using Pauwels Y osteotomy technique. We discussed the reasons of failure in our case which resulted in neck resorption and pesudoarthrosis, under literature knowledge.
