“…In addition, femoral bone quality was exceptionally poor while the medullary cavity was narrow, and finally the implementation of a nail could trigger a devastating impact regarding the high risk of concomitant infection. In post‐poliomyelitis patients, minimally invasive techniques and smaller incisions are required due to bone deformity, small femoral shafts, and medullary cavities 12,13 …”

“…In post-poliomyelitis patients, minimally invasive techniques and smaller incisions are required due to bone deformity, small femoral shafts, and medullary cavities. 12,13 During surgery, all pieces removed were sent for sonication analysis and cultures. Postoperatively, it was revealed that our patient suffered from a concomitant bone infection caused by S. warnerii and received targeted antibiotic therapy following sensitivity testing.…”

Key Clinical Message The treatment of long bone fractures in post‐polio survivors is indubitably an exacting task. Out of this complicated case presented in this paper, it can be deduced that it is attainable to repair a peri‐implant subtrochanteric refracture or a complex non‐union of the proximal femur with plate and screws with grafting. Abstract Post‐polio survivors are prone to low‐energy bone fractures. The management of such cases is exigent, as no literature data indicate the best surgical approach. This paper presents an intricate peri‐implant proximal femoral fracture in a polio survivor treated in our institution and accentuates the various challenges we encountered.
