Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To report a case of a peri-prosthetic hip fracture fixed using a previously unreported technique of intramedullary nailing with dual proximal fixation. CASE SUMMARY: An 81-year-old nursing home resident suffered a multi-fragmentary peri-prosthetic hip fracture around a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing arthroplasty (BHR), which was fixed using a novel technique. DISCUSSION: Such fractures pose a significant surgical dilemma with regards to the optimal method of treatment. The increasing popularity of these implants suggests that these fractures will become increasingly common. CONCLUSION: We believe that our technique provides a practical and satisfactory solution to these fractures.
