Abstract
In this case report, we show how it is possible to perform osteosynthesis using minimal invasive techniques instead of conventional methods. In this instance the osteosynthesis was performed on a patient in poor general condition who had presented a periprosthetic fracture of the proximal femur. For the osteosynthesis the Less invasive Stabilization System intended for distal femur fractures was used with success.
