Traumatic bilateral neck of femur fracture in paediatric age: A case report and review of literature.

Bilateral femoral neck fractures are rare, and only a few cases have been reported following major trauma in children. An 8-year-old male patient presented with pain both hips and inability to bear weight on his lower limbs, four days after he fell through a roof while playing. The anteroposterior pelvic radiograph showed a displaced transcervical fracture of the right femoral neck and an undisplaced transcervical fracture of the left femoral neck. Operative fixation of both hips with cannulated cancellous screws done on the 5th day of injury led to a successful outcome. This case is presented due to its rarity and successful outcome despite a late presentation.
