In this study, we aimed to present the treatment of femur infected nonunion and limb length discrepancy in a twenty-seven-year-old patient with hemophilia type A. A 27-year-old male patient with hemophilia type A referred to our institution for the treatment of right femur infected nonunion and 10\u2009cm shortness of the femur. Resection of the nonunion site and bone-to-bone fixation with autologous bone grafting were performed. Compression to the pseudoarthrosis site and distraction from new osteotomy site were applied with the unilateral external fixator. Union was achieved, and 6\u2009cm lengthening was obtained according to the initial length. Patient was followed up for 7 years. After this treatment, the patient is able to walk with full weight bearing on the affected extremity with 4\u2009cm shortening which is compensated by the heel lift. The results of this case indicate that limb lengthening and treatment of nonunion with the external fixation could be reliable and effective method for hemophilic patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/3045262","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,17]],"date-time":"2016-03-17T21:02:03Z","timestamp":1458248523000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Surgical Treatment of an Infected Nonunion of the Middle Third of the Femur Associated with Femoral Shortening in a Hemophilia Patient"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2016","author":[{"given":"Ahmet","family":"Salduz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Istanbul University, 34093 Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00d6zcan","family":"Kaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Istanbul University, 34093 Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Halil \u0130brahim","family":"Balci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Istanbul University, 34093 Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Turgut","family":"Akgul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Istanbul University, 34093 Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fatih","family":"Dikici","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Atakent Hospital, Acibadem University, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B\u00fclent","family":"Z\u00fclfikar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oncology Institute, Division of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mehmet","family":"Kocao\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Memorial \u015ei\u015fli Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"1","first-page":"570","volume":"41","year":"2012","journal-title":"The American Journal of Orthopedics"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/hae.12183"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2516.2002.00562.x"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/jbjs.e.01152"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/hae.12478"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2516.2012.02805.x"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.93B1.24788"},{"issue":"2","key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"185","DOI":"10.1177\/230949901202000210","volume":"20","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00402-007-0437-1"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3349\/ymj.2015.56.6.1656"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20110627-12"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0141973"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Orthopedics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crior\/2016\/3045262.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crior\/2016\/3045262.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crior\/2016\/3045262.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,24]],"date-time":"2017-06-24T08:31:51Z","timestamp":1498293111000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/crior\/2016\/3045262\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016]]},"references-count":12,"alternative-id":["3045262","3045262"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2016\/3045262","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6749","2090-6757"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6749","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6757","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016]]}}}
