Abstract

Osteopetrosis is a type of bone metabolism disorder that causes osteoclasts to fail properly, leading to impaired bone resorption and poor bone remodeling.

The primary orthopedic presentations and the most common manifestation in patients with osteopetrosis fractures, especially long bones

The literature has described several operative methods to treat osteopetrotic subtrochanteric fractures.

Our study reports on the results of an internal fixation procedure performed on a patient who is known to have osteopetrosis who had a bilateral proximal femur fracture.

 Keywords: Osteopetrosis, Bilateral proximal femur fracture, long bone fracture, Infection
