Abstract:
Although osteltis fibrosa cystica was the clinical manifestation originally recognized as a feature of the primary hyperparathyroidism, its frequency in diagnosed cases currently has decreased. Affected patients are now being detected in earlier stages of the disease. We have experienced a case of primary hyperparathyroldism with the typical bony changes and the pathologic, subtrochanteric fracture of left femur. We have treated the fracture with Zickel nalling and parathyroidectomy was performed. Four months after the removal of parathyoid adenoma the fractured femur healed well.
