Core Tip
Core Tip: Neglected femoral neck fracture in the pediatric population is challenging to treat; moreover, it is more challenging in neglected cases. In the current report we presented a case of bilateral neglected femoral neck fracture in a pediatric patient suffering from end-stage renal disease. The management aim was to achieve fracture union in an acceptable anatomical position and overcome the obstacle of poor bone quality. These goals were achieved by performing staged bilateral sliding subtrochanteric valgus osteotomies. By the last follow-up at 18 months, fracture union was achieved with acceptable functional outcomes. Performing a sliding subtrochanteric valgus osteotomy was appropriate for correcting the fracture biomechanics and achieving early stability and fracture union.
