• OBJECTIVES
    • Pediatric femoral neck fractures were reviewed to compare complications with the time of presentation.
  • METHODS
    • 34 pediatric femoral neck fractures were studied to detect union time, avascular necrosis, premature physis fusion, and the neck-shaft angle. All complications were comparable between both groups.
  • RESULTS
    • The mean union time was more in late presented group. Four children developed AVN. The neck shaft angle and pre mature fusion of growth plate were same in both groups.
  • CONCLUSIONS
    • The frequency of the complications except union time in pediatric neck femur fracture is comparable in early and late presented groups.
