Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract

We report the case of an adult patient with marble stone- osteopetrotic subtrochanteric fracture, which was successfully treated with Dynamic cortical screw in the light of a comprehensive literature review.
