Abstract
We report a case of profunda femoris false aneurysm following internal fixation of an intertrochanteric neck of femur fracture, caused by proximal migration of a fracture fragment. The case is unique in that the mode of presentation was that of deep venous thrombosis, due to extrinsic compression of the venous system by the false aneurysm. (Hip International 2004; 14: 262-4).
