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.
