Seventeen transcervical/basal femoral neck fractures in children were treated by free fibular graft and cancellous lag screw. Two cases were failures of a previous surgery, and 15 had been untreated for 3 weeks or more. Four cases had radiological evidence of avascular necrosis of the head and one of the neck preoperatively; five cases had neck resorption. At an average of 48.1 months postsurgery all fractures had united and there was only one new case of avascular necrosis. Four cases had coxa vara, and four cases had premature epiphyseal closure. There were 13 good, three fair, and one poor result(s) using Ratliff's criteria. We recommend this procedure in cases with delayed initial appearance or failed previous surgery. Complications of the procedure such as long screw/graft and fibular fracture are preventable. The incidence of coxa vara in cases with neck resorption may be reduced by adding subtrochanteric osteotomy to the procedure.
