ABSTRACT
A 45-year-old man with a remote history of a left above-the-knee amputation presented to the emergency department with left hip pain after a mechanical fall. This case was an operative challenge because commonly used intraoperative traction methods could not be applied to a patient with an above-the-knee amputation. We describe a rarely utilized surgical technique of applying traction to an amputated extremity via a Steinmann pin during closed reduction and internal fixation of an intertrochanteric fracture.
