Abstract: | A 37-year old woman with paraplegia sustained a posttraumatic rotational deformity of the femur of 40 degrees after the osteosynthesis of a femur fracture. In the consequence she got several problems in her everyday life, such as problems in handling the wheel-chair and in catheterism. The determination of anteversion of the femoral neck by computed tomography is necessary for quantifying rotational faults and planning of corrective osteotomy. Our patient recuperated as the same level of independence after a subtrochanteric corrective osteotomy as before the fracture of the femur. |
