Short Term Outcome of Pediatric Fracture of Neck Femur Fixation by Plate and Screws

May 18, 2023 updated by: Mostafa Hussien Ahmed, Sohag University
the incidence of femoral neck fracture in children ranges between 0.3 and 0.5 of all childhood fractures per year. the incidence is maximum at the ranges of 11 and 12 years with a male preponderance ranging from 1.3 to 1.7:1. in contrast to osteoprotic proximal femur fractures in the eldery. although rarely seen in children fracture neck of femur has aconsiderable risk of complications such as avascular necrosisos femoral head, coxa vara, non union, delayed union, premature physeal arrest and infection. in infants and toddlrs below age of 2 years, closed reduction and fixation with smooth 1.8 or 2 mm K wires may be carried out, in children there are many methods of fixation, cannulated 4,4.5 screws, plates,dynamic hip screw.
