Abstract
A case of iatrogenic femoral fracture after harvest of a medial femoral condyle flap is presented. The procedure was performed for a recalcitrant nonunion of the clavicle that required a flap of 6 × 1 × 1 cm. The patient suffered a supracondylar fracture at the proximal extent of the flap harvest site 3 weeks after surgery, requiring surgical fixation of the femur.
