One-Stage Osteotomy and Fixation Using a Long Proximal Femoral Nail and Fibular Graft to Correct a Severe Shepherd's Crook Deformity in a Patient with Fibrous Dysplasia: A Case Report
We report a case where a one-stage osteotomy and fixation, using a long proximal femoral nail and fibular graft, was performed to correct a severe shepherd's crook deformity (70° varus and 50° retroversion) of the femoral neck with a pathological stress fracture in a patient with fibrous dysplasia. The neck shaft angle was corrected to 125°. At the 57-month follow-up, the patient was free of pain and had no limp or evidence of recurrence.
