ABSTRACT
Femoral neck fracture in children is usually caused by high-energy trauma. This relatively rare injury characterized by skeletal immaturity is different from that in adult patients in proximal femoral anatomy and blood supply. Currently, a variety of fixation methods have been used for paediatric femoral neck fractures but their overall goal is anatomical reduction and stable fixation. Femoral neck fractures in children are usually associated with a high incidence of complications (e.g. femoral head necrosis, premature epiphyseal closure, coxa vara and nonunion) even after appropriate treatment. This review addresses the anatomic characteristics, treatment strategies and complications in the treatment of paediatric femoral neck fractures.
