Abstract
A case of pathologic femoral fracture in a patient with Gaucher's dise ase is presented. The fracture occurred at the site of bioptic trepana tion performed 1 month previously. After fracture healing and removal of a Kuntscher nail, pathologic fracture recurred at the same site. Th e paper emphasizes the value of ''biological'' internal fixation for t he preservation of compromised blood flow in the bones of patients wit h Gaucher's disease.
