Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2016, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Concomittant Ipsilateral Fractures of Neck And Shaft of femur are rare in children of age group 2 years. there are only 11 reported cases till now. These injuries occur in children due to high velocity trauma and there is no accepted method of treatment. Case Report: We had compound grade 2 mid shaft femur with bone loss and ipsilateral neck femur. After fixation it resulted in no limb length discrepancy and no varus deformity. we advocate operative stabilisation of femoral shaft fracture to reduce the risk of further displacement and simplify the fiation of femoral neck. The common complications we see have poor progonosis resulting in avascular necrosis, coxa vara and limb length discrepancy. But in our case report we had nothing of them despite of being compound grade 2 with bone loss. Conclusion: To Conclude, Case Of This Sort In Paediatric Age Group Are Rare, But If Managed Properly Gives A Satisfactory Outcome With Minimal Or Nil Complications.
