Authors performed an operation for danger of fracture in case of extensive cystic fibrous dysplasia, localized in the femoral neck. The cyst was filled after refreshing its walls, with cancellous bone. To increase ossification a cortico-spongious bone cube, gained from the trochanter major and with retained connection with the insertion of the anterior third of the medial gluteus muscle was inserted in the area filled. The transplanted bone was fixed with an autologous fibular graft. Half a year after the operation bony transformation and good functional result could be observed.
