Abstract
Forty-three children with displaced transcervical femoral fractures were reviewed
at a mean follow-up of 7.2 years and results were assessed using Ratliff's criteria.
Of 22 patients treated by internal fixation alone, 10 had good, 6 had fair and 6 had
poor results. The results in 21 children treated by internal fixation along with primary
transverse intertrochanteric undisplaced osteotomy were: 14 good, 5 fair and 2 poor,
but none improved to a statistically significant level (P = 0.139). However, the osteotomy
improved the fracture union significantly and no delayed union or non-union was noted
in this group (P = 0.05). There were no complications related to the osteotomy itself.
