Abstract

Distraction osteogenesis popularized by Ilizarov has been the only solution in most of bone defect nonunions but this has never been worked in old fracture neck of femur with resorbed neck. We applied this principle in a young child with old fracture neck of femur with resorbed neck. We applied across hip external fixator and gradual distraction was started. Resorbed neck was completely formed in 06 months and patient regained his normal leg length and mobility and escaped major surgery.
