Abstract

Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a well-known complication of renal failure. A rare manifestation of secondary hyperparathyrodism is the “Brown tumor” of bone. A 44-year-old woman who suffered from a pathological fracture due to Brown tumor is described. We perform osteosynthesis soon after injury allowing the patent to move by herself and significantly improving her quality of life. We consider that it is necessary to prepare bone cement, bank bone to support the weakness of bone structure.
