Abstract

This case series reports the functional out come after femur neck reconstruction in young patients after neglected femur neck fracture with free fibular grafts. 7 young patients of age 14-21 yrs with stage 3 (Sandhu et al) neglected femur neck fracture were treated with double free fibular grafting and DHS fixation. On long term follow ups all united well with good reconstruction and radiological consolidation of femoral neck on 12 months follow up with good to excellent Harris hip score. 1 patient presented with excellent, 5 with good and 1 with fair result. This series is presented to further validate free fibular grafting in neglected femoral neck fractures in young patients, particularly those with large bone gap and to strengthen the available database.
