摘要：

Since the introduction of flexible intramedullary nails, the treatment of femoral shaft fractures in adolescents has been revolutionized and this has become the routine treatment in most units, with minimal complications. We report a rare complication of an ipsilateral fractured neck of femur in a fit and healthy 12-year-old girl 6 months after treatment of a traumatic fractured femoral shaft; this was treated effectively with cannulated screws and the patient was successfully discharged without any further complication.
