Description

<jats:sec> <jats:title>Case:</jats:title> <jats:p>We present a case of a sixty-nine-year-old woman with an atypical subtrochanteric femoral fracture below an arthritic hip; the patient had a history of long-term bisphosphonate treatment. We performed a one-stage total hip arthroplasty with a plate and cables because the healing of atypical femoral fractures in patients with a history of bisphosphonate use can be prolonged.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion:</jats:title> <jats:p>The combined use of a plate and total hip arthroplasty is a potential intervention for atypical proximal femoral fractures associated with hip arthritis.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
