This case focuses on the challenges regarding femoral shaft fractures in a patient with marble bone disease and the surgical outcomes.
Case report of a 44-year-old male diagnosed with marble bone disease since childhood.
External plate fixation was employed for the initial femoral shaft fracture surgery after a fall.
Secondary surgery was necessary due to implant failure, re-fixing with plates positioned laterally and anteriorly.
Initial surgery failed to achieve bone union within 9 months, leading to implant breakage.
A second surgery was performed with improved fixation, but bone union was still not observed after 14 months.
Limited reports exist on femoral shaft fractures in marble bone disease, highlighting the uniqueness of this case.
