47 years old gentleman presented with complaints of pain in left hip and inability to bear weight over left lower limb. There was shortening of left limb of about 4 cm. Patient had history of residual post-polio paralysis of left upper limb and left lower limb but patient used to walk without support. He had sustained fracture of the left hip 6 month ago which was fixed with screws. Pre-op x-ray showed ununited fracture neck of femur with failed osteosynthesis.
