Abstract
A 24-year-old woman presented with dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma of the proximal femur and was treated with limb salvage surgery using the Compress implant. It was implanted with a technical error, was not revised, and has demonstrated no negative outcomes 29 months postoperatively. An instance of incorrect pin placement during the implantation of a Zimmer Compress implant is presented with good survivorship. This report acts as information for other surgeons who might inadvertently obtain unicortical fixation. In this patient, revision surgery was avoided and an excellent, short-term outcome was achieved while avoiding the potentially devastating complications associated with revision implantation.
