Nonunion is a relatively rare, yet challenging problem after fracture of the femoral neck. Risk factors include verticality of the fracture line and presence of comminution of the posteromedial calcar, as well as quality of reduction. Treatment options consist of valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy versus arthroplasty. Treatment should be tailored to the individual patient, taking into account patient age and activity demands. This review outlines the principles and technical considerations for valgus osteotomy of the proximal femur in the setting of femoral neck nonunion.

Fibrous dysplasia is a rare condition in which bone is replaced by fibroosseous tissue. It is a benign condition, divided into monostotic and polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, which accounts for about 5-7% of all benign bone tumours. Here, authors reported a case of a 38-year-old male that presented with left hip pain since 15 days and had a history of trauma. X-ray pelvis and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed shepherd’s crook deformity in the left proximal femur with pathological femur neck fracture. It was managed with valgus osteotomy for deformity correction and fracture fixation using long proximal femur nail and cannulated cancellous screws. At one and half year follow-up, the patient showed good hip and knee range of motion with no complications.

SummaryA l33Xe washout method has been used for measuring changes of blood flow in the proximal femur of a patient with the blastic crisis of chronic granulocytic leukaemia. In the hyperplastic phase the blood flow was highly increased and over three times greater than in the hypoplastic phase of the disease and over thirteen times greater than the value in normal bone. The bone circulation and especially the first component of the two-exponential bone washout curves appeared to reflect cell proliferation and neoplastic activity of the whole bone marrow. The method may provide clinically important information in the follow-up of selected haematological diseases.
