Isolated lesser trochanter fracture in adults: An early indicator of tumor infiltration - 09/04/11

Treatment consisted in resection–reconstruction by megaprosthesis. This form of isolated fracture is rare, and results from infiltration of the trochanteric area by a malignant tumoral process, which is usually metastatic.
