Figure 1
Radiographs of the right femur before and after the atypical fracture. (a) Radiograph at the initial visit to a local hospital revealed diffuse cortical thickening and beaking of the lateral cortex in the subtrochanteric region of the right femur. (b) A short oblique fracture with a medial spike is visible in the subtrochanteric region of the right femur. (c) The fracture was stabilized by intramedullary nailing, and union is evident within 4 weeks of the right femoral fracture.
