Pre- and postoperative radiographs of the right thigh. Anterolateral (a) and lateral (b) radiographs taken at the first visit at 63 years of age reveal soft tissue swelling containing numerous phleboliths and bony erosion in the femoral shaft. c Radiograph taken on admission at 68 years of age reveals displaced pathologic right femoral shaft fracture. d Radiograph taken immediately after the first surgery reveals partial reduction of the fracture using a Taylor Spatial Frame. e Radiograph taken immediately after the second surgery reveals replacement of the proximal half-pins and complete reduction of the fracture. f Radiograph taken 5 months after the second surgery reveals bony union.
