“… 9 Femoral canal diameter, femoral bowing, fracture location, and morphology and clinical deformities of the patients are key factors that determine the choice of fixation and implant. 9 , 10 Locking plates, pre‐contoured anatomical plates, and titanium elastic nailing systems offer an alternative in patients unsuitable for intramedullary nailing. 11 In our case, we decided not to remove the previously placed DHS and stabilize the peri‐implant fracture with a new diaphyseal plate and screws, along with a strut graft supported by two cable wires.…”

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.
