Condylar femoral arthroplasty with bone cement as a salvage measure in open fracture with articular bone defect in a young patient
Open fractures often require complex treatments, especially those with joint involvement or critical bone defects. Managing both combined injuries present even greater challenges and is not without complications.We present the case of a young patient with an open fracture of the femoral condyle and...

| description | Open fractures often require complex treatments, especially those with joint involvement or critical bone defects. Managing both combined injuries present even greater challenges and is not without complications.We present the case of a young patient with an open fracture of the femoral condyle and loss of bone stock in the articular surface. In this case, a combined osteosynthesis approach was employed, utilizing cannulated screws and a femoral condyle arthroplasty with bone cement as a salvage measure, allowing a favorable clinical and functional outcome at the 3-year follow-up. This technique serves as a simple, reproducible, and cost-effective alternative for transient or potentially definitive management in such cases. |
