Paediatric hip fracture accounts for less than one percent of paediatric fractures. Previous studies report complication rates between 20 and 92%. We retrospectively identified patients with fixation for neck of femur fractures at Birmingham Children's Hospital. All patients were under age sixteen. Data were reviewed over a 10 year period (1997-2006). Fractures were classified by Delbet's classification and Ratliff's system to grade avascular necrosis (AVN). Function was assessed using Ratcliff's criteria, incorporating clinical examination and radiographic findings.Introduction
