Abstract

An 80-year-old female with rheumatoid arthritis had a giant erosion of the right femoral neck resulting in a pathologic fracture that was managed by osteosynthesis and a free fibular bone graft, after which a left femoral subcapital insufficiency fracture was treated by artificial endoprosthesis. One and a half years after the operation on her right hip, she can walk painlessly with the assistance of a wheel chair.
