Dynamic Condylar Screw as a Solution to Operative Dilemma in Early Sub-Trochanteric Fracture Following Cannulated Screw Fixation for Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis: A Case Report
ABSTRACT
A 14-year-old boy presented with a 2-month history of left groin pain and a limp on the left side. Radiographs confirmed slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) of the left hip. The surgical procedure he received used a single, 8-mm, partially threaded, cannulated screw. Postoperatively he was advised to remain strictly non-weight bearing on the affected lower limb until physeal closure was achieved. Unfortunately, he fell down 4 weeks postoperatively and sustained a subtrochanteric fracture on the same hip, with the cannulated screw still in place. This injury was surgically treated using a dynamic condylar screw and a side plate.
