Pronounced femur malunion after pathological bone fracture due to a simple bone cyst in the shaft of the femur treated using Ilizarov fixation: a case report

摘要

BackgroundAlthough a simple bone cyst carries the risk of pathological fractures, it rarely causes severe deformity. Here we report a case of severe femoral deformity after multiple pathological fractures due to simple bone cysts, and consider the reason for the progression of malunion despite multiple previous treatments. Finally, we propose a treatment option for malunion correction.
