Abstract

Though femoral neck fractures in adults are usually treated by fixation with multiple screws, subtrochanteric fracture at the insertion site is an uncommon complication, and in children, there has been a few reports about this complication after treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis. We report a subtrochanteric fracture at the insertion site of cannulated screws used in femoral neck fracture of a 9-years old boy.
