    Author: Jung ST, Park GH.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop B; 2012 Nov; 21(6):579-82. PubMed ID: 22643126.
    Abstract:
    Reports on cases of femoral neck fracture complicated by a slipped capital femoral epiphysis associated with avascular necrosis and coxa vara deformity in children are extremely rare. In this case report, we describe a patient who had complications of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis with avascular necrosis and coxa vara deformity after a Delbet type III left femoral neck fracture. We also describe the surgical treatment to overcome these complications.
