Abstract
Osteopetrosis is a rare hereditary disease which is characterized by increased bone density and it usually presents with increased bone mass and generalized osteosclerosis. We report the case of an adult patient with marble stone- osteopetrotic subtrochanteric fracture, which was successfully treated with Dynamic cortical screw in the light of a comprehensive literature review.
