Article Synopsis
- Intertrochanteric hip fractures are becoming more common due to an aging population, and cephalomedullary nailing is increasingly used as a treatment option.
- A unique case is reported where a patient developed heterotopic ossification in the proximal femur after this procedure, leading to a serious complication: a femoral artery pseudoaneurysm.
- The situation required a collaborative surgical approach from both vascular and orthopedic teams, marking this case as one of the first documented instances in the literature.
