[Femoral neck fractures in children. About 14 cases (author's transl)]. 1981

P Chrestian, and G Bollini, and M Jacquemier, and P Ramaherison

The authors study 14 femoral neck fractures in children after a four and half years follow up. They point out the scarcity of these fractures in children. They describe their therapeutic methods and results. They corroborate the bad prognosis of this injury (femoral neck necrosis or further growth trouble) and emphasise the importance of a long term follow up to appreciate precisely the sequellar growth trouble. They discuss the responsibility of the femoral neck's vascularisation pattern in the origin of the sequella. They ask two questions : -- Is it useful to treat these fractures in emergency? -- Is the surgical dogma still valid?
