Zusammenfassung: | Introduction
Bilateral femoral neck fracture is a rare injury, mostly seen in adults often with bony and metabolic disorders. This injury occurs very rarely in children and only few of it have been reported.
Case report
A 4-year-old child with direct pelvic trauma and bilateral femoral neck fractures is reported in whom early surgical treatment was successful.
Conclusion
Bilateral femoral neck fracture is extremely rare in children, but in patients with pelvis trauma it should be suspected and the radiograms should be carefully reviewed. |
