Abstract

This case demonstrates the successful surgical stabilization of a traumatic per-prosthetic proximal femur fracture with a mature metal-on-metal Birmingham hip resurfacing implant in-situ. To our knowledge no such fracture fixation has been documented in the literature using a dynamic hip screw device.
