case_images: The radiographic and tomographic evaluation showed an intertrochanteric fracture in a long-lasting ankylosed hip (Fig. 1 and 2).

case_images: Expecting a great stress in the fracture site, this construction was reinforced with a 3.5 mm pelvic reconstruction plate, with 8mmx3.5 mm cortical screws, spanning from the iliac wing to the proximal femur (Fig. 3 and 4).

case_images: Due to the poor bone quality and the unusual long lever arm, the patient was not permitted to walk until 3weeks after the intervention (Fig. 5) and only partial weight-bearing afterward.

case_images: Bone healing occurred after 3months, allowing the patient to walk with a single cane and full weight-bearing (Fig. 6).
