Article Abstract

Introduction: The incidence of ipsilateral neck of femur fracture with the shaft of femur going for non-union is not known. Management of this concomitant non-union can be a daunting task in terms of fixation strategy and its outcome.

Case Report: In this article, we report a case of a 25-year-old male with ipsilateral neck of femur with shaft non-union. We have done open reduction and dual plating with bone grafting for the shaft of the femur followed by valgus subtrochanteric osteotomy with dynamic hip screw and impaction bone grafting for the neck of femur non-union.

Conclusion: The main principle in treating the neck of femur non-union is biomechanical correction of shear forces into compression forces by valgus correction and impaction bone grafting aids fracture healing. Dual plating with bone grafting gives optimal results in shaft non-union.
