ABSTRACT

The Shepherd's crook deformity of the proximal femur is a characteristic radiologic feature of fibrous dysplasia. It may be limited to a single bone, which is called monostotic, or may be polyostotic involving multiple bones as seen in McCune-Albright Syndrome. We report a case of a 19-year-old male patient who presented to us with pain in the right hip for one year. He had dysmorphic facies and multiple café-au-lait spots over the back, which were suggestive of McCune-Albright Syndrome. The radiographs of the hip showed varus deformity of the proximal femur. A lateral closing wedge osteotomy was done and the defect was filled with morselised femoral head allografts and fibular strut allografts. At the 14-month follow-up, the patient remained functionally active without any symptoms. The use of morselised femoral head allograft combined with strut fibular allograft ensures both stability and improved biology at the site of the lesion without any donor site morbidity.
