Kahler's Disease Revealed by a Fracture of the Humeral Diaphysis
Journal Title: Journal of Orthopedics & Bone Disorders - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Kahler's disease or multiple myeloma is a malignant hematological pathology, characterized by the malignant proliferation of plasma cells. Reporting a case of a humeral shaft fracture in a non-traumatic context that revealed Kahler's disease during paraclinical investigations. Management involves histological confirmation of the pathology, osteosynthesis of the fracture by static centromedullary nailing, with medical treatment made of biphosphonate combined with a chemotherapy protocol targeting the disease. The management of a pathological fracture is a diagnostic emergency, but never an operating emergency. A diagnosis of certainty must be made before any intervention.
