Abstract:
Femoral neck fractures are rare in children until and unless there is a high energy trauma.
This paper describes an unusual case of neck of femur fracture in a girl with very low vitamin Dof <4.20 ng/ml successfully managed by open reduction and internal fixation with dynamic hip screw. No clinical or radiological signs of avascular necrosis were observed in four months of follow-up.
