Abstract:
Compared with the pediatric femoral neck fracture described by the Delbet-Colonna classification, femoral neck fracture with a comminuted posteromedial column is characterized by a more special fracture location. Therefore, it is more difficult to deal with, leading to higher incidences of avascular necrosis of femoral head, coxa vara deformity, and delayed union postoperatively. This paper reviews recent progress in diagnosis and treatment of this specific kind of fracture in the aspects of anatomy and function of the posteromedial column of the femoral neck, and special features, surgical treatment and complication avoidance concerning this fracture, hoping to arouse interest from pediatric surgeons in this specific fracture which has not been described by the Delbet-Colonna classification.
