Muscle Pedicle Bone Grafting for Non-Union Neck of Femur in a Young Patient - A Successful Outcome

Non-union of the femoral neck in young patients presents a significant treatment challenge.In this case, a muscle pedicle bone graft using the quadratus femoris was employed to treat a non-union femoral neck fracture after failed conservative treatment.The procedure resulted in complete fracture healing and full functional recovery at six months postoperatively, as confirmed by radiological and clinical assessments.This case highlights the effectiveness of muscle pedicle bone grafting as a valuable option for managing non-union femoral neck fractures in young patients, offering a promising alternative when standard treatments are unsuccessful.
