  • PURPOSE: To evaluate the result of early anatomical reduction and internal fixation of hip fracture in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 1996 to July 2002, 21 cases (mean, 9 years) of hip fracture were available for follow-up more than 1 year. We performed early anatomical reduction and internal fixation within 24 hours as possible. Fractures were classified according to the 4 types described by Delbet. The results were analyzed according to the functional results by Ratliff and the incidence of complication. RESULTS: There were no type I, 7 type II, 10 type III and 4 type IV fractures. Avascular necrosis of femoral head in 2 cases (type II, III). Functional result was 18 Good, 1 Fair and 2 Poor. CONCLUSION: Fractures of the hip in children have been associated with a very high rate of serious complications, but our treatment by early anatomical reduction and interal fixation reduced rates of complication and had good functional result.
