Abstract
Fractures of the proximal femur frequently occur in children with osteogenesis imperfecta or fibrous dyplasia and may lead to progressive coxa vara and a "shepherds crook" deformity. We have found existing methods of fixation of the femoral neck in small children to be unsatisfactory. We have devised a method of fixation using a small signal arm nail. With a mean follow-up of 9.3 years there was a successful outcome in all 11 hips treated.Entities:
