Abstract: We describe a case of an atypical peri-prosthetic femoral fracture around an un-cemented total hip replacement in a 73 year-old patient, thought to be secondary to bisphosphonate use. The challenges associated with fixation of these fractures are demonstrated with a failed prophylactic fixation requiring complex revision surgery.
