Abstract
Subcapital fractures after open reduction and internal fixation of intertrochanteric hip fractures have not previously been attributed to osteomyelitis. We report a unique case of a 63-year-old man with isolated subclinical osteomyelitis of the femoral neck causing ischemic necrosis and subcapital fracture after sliding screw plate fixation of an ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture.Entities:
