ROBAINA RUIZ, Lázaro  and  VEGA OJEDA, Arturo Pablo. Pathological fracture at pediatric age due to osseous fibrous dysplasia. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2004, vol.18, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3100.

A 13-years old male patient who suffered fracture of the proximal end of femur due to right hip trauma is presented in this paper. A literature review was made on current classification, clinical, radiographic and anatomopathological signs of bone fibrous dysplasia. In the clinical and paraclinical tests practiced to the patient, it was found that the fractured area included a pathological bone. Radiographies with the findings observed are shown. Biopsy, curettage of lesion and filling with biocompatible material were performed. This is the first case of fracture in pathological bone of the proximal end of femur from osseous fibrous dysplasia at pediatric age in Cuba

Keywords : osseous fibrous dysplasia; proximal end of femur; curettage; biocompatible implant; fracture in pathological bone.
