The patient deferred surgery and remains without major complications until 18 months of follow-up. In the index group, all five patients were boys and the mean age of onset was 13.1 years (range 9.214.9). Some conditions weaken your bones, which makes them more likely to break. The incidence of distant metastases and outcome, including local recurrence and survival, were compared between the index (with pathological fracture) and the control (without pathological fracture) groups.

The fracture site failed to show signs of union until 6 months postsurgery and hence the patient was advised for grafting procedure. A pathologic fracture is a broken bone thatвЂ™s caused by a disease, rather than an injury. The fracture was fixed with a contralateral distal femur locking compression plate. Laboratory investigations pointed in favour of bone mineral disease, and histopathological examination of the bone narrowed it down to PagetвЂ™s disease. Radiographic skeletal survey failed to identify a similar appearance elsewhere in the body. Broken bones caused by MBD are called pathological.

Radiological investigations suggested a pathological type 2 Seinsheimer subtrochanteric fracture of the right femur with a вЂbone within boneвЂ™ appearance, which posed a diagnostic dilemma as this radiological appearance is seen in a spectrum of conditions. Because MBD weakens the affected bones, people with this disease are at risk for fractures. A 60-year-old man presented to our hospital with complaints of pain and deformity on his right thigh for the past 2 days following a history of accidental slip and fall.
