Abstract

We present a case report of a patient who had a transverse subtrochanteric femur fracture develop 2 months after uneventful placement of a long femorotibial intramedullary nail for knee arthrodesis. To date, diaphyseal fracture of a femur already stabilized with an intramedullary nail has not been reported. The possible etiology for this unusual complication is discussed.
