BACKGROUND
Neglected femoral neck fractures in young adults (age <60) pose a major challenge in terms of appropriate treatments for each specific condition.
AIM
The objective of this case report is to explain the presentation of neglected femoral neck fractures and its clinical consequences and to discuss the management of the disease.
CASE PRESENTATION
This case presents a 14-year-old male with neglected displaced fracture of femoral neck, which was successfully managed by closed reduction and internal fixation with two cannulated screws and nonvascularized fibular strut graft.
CONCLUSION
Femoral neck fractures in young adults are considered as a rare fracture case, eventually it was associated with serious complications. The management of this type of fractures in children is challenging, particularly that of a neglected fracture. Fibular strut graft with two cannulated hip screws for neglected femoral neck fractures in children considered to be cost-effective and technically less demanding as well as associated with good outcomes.
