El tratamiento de las fracturas en la enfermedad de Paget presenta dificultades para el cirujano, debido a las características patológicas del hueso en este tipo de pacientes. La opción terapéutica de elección en fracturas de diáfisis femoral es el enclavado endomedular, pero a menudo encontramos en esta enfermedad complicaciones que dificultan la técnica quirúrgica. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con fractura de diáfisis femoral en hueso con características pagéticas, en el que por la estrechez del canal y la dureza de las corticales no fue posible realizar en enclavado endomedular, y se optó por el fijador externo como tratamiento definitivo, con buenos resultados radiográficos y funcionales. Tras el primer año de evolución, observamos una buena consoli - dación ósea en la radiografía, y la paciente deambula sin ayuda.
The treatment of fractures in Paget's disease presents difficulties for the surgeon because of the pathological features of bone in these patients. The treatment of choice for femoral shaft fractures is intrame - dullary nailing, but often found in this disease, complications that hinder the surgical technique. We report the case of a patient with femoral shaft fracture in bone with pagetic characteristics, in which because of the narrow canal and the hardness of the cortical, intamedullary nailing was not possible. We opted for the external fixator as definitive treatment, with good radiographic and functional results. After the first year of follow up, we see good bone healing on X-ray and the patient ambulate without help.
