Traumatic coxa vera. A case report of spontaneous correction in a child

Residual coxa vara is a common complication of femoral neck fracture in a child. Factors favoring the development of this complication are delayed reduction and avascular necrosis. The present case report is a 10-year follow-up of spontaneous correction of traumatic coxa vara in a child. This is of interest because residual coxa vara following a hip fracture in an adult is a deformity in which there is little if any corrective remodeling.
