Description: Singapore Med J 2002 Vol 43(4) : 205-207 Management of Pathological Fracture Neck of the Femur Following Recent Osteomyelitis in a Child A S Devnani
ABSTRACT Fracture neck of the femur is rare in children and occurs following severe trauma(1-5). Several recommendations have been made for the treatment of displaced transcervical fracture type II (Delbet classification)(1,2,5-8). However there are no recommendations when such a fracture occurs after recent acute osteomyelits of the neck of the femur. The management of a case is described with the outcome after 36 months.
