Meta-analysis of 360 cases from 20 studies Of the 935 patients, the classification of 876 were recorded and in none of those 876 cases a valgus-impacted fracture was noted. Systematic review of 30 studies (3 with level III evidence and 27 with level IV evidence) with 935 patients This case report highlights a rare, unreported variant of femoral neck fracture in the paediatric age group and its management. However, such a fracture pattern is unusual in the paediatric population. This fracture pattern is commonly seen in the adult population and classified according to the Garden classification as type 1. The case presented here features a valgus-impacted fracture of the neck of femur in a 12-year-old girl. These fractures are classified according to the system described by Delbet and adapted by Colonna, 1 and literature reports that the transcervical type of femur neck fractures (Delbet type 2) is the most common, followed by the cervicotrochanteric type (Delbet type 3). Due to the tenuous blood supply and proximity to the proximal femoral epiphysis, fractures of the femoral neck have the potential to cause significant long-term complications such as avascular necrosis (AVN), non-union and coxa vara. However, sometimes, a trivial injury may cause a pathological fracture and repetitive injury may cause a stress fracture. They usually occur as a result of high-velocity injury such as motor vehicle accident and fall from height. Significant force is required to disrupt the thick, resilient periosteum and cause fracture. Fracture of neck of femur is rare in children.
