Risk factors of avascular femoral head necrosis after a pediatric femoral neck fracture: A new high risk fracture type + a 15-year follow up

Objectives: Pediatric femoral neck fractures (PFNF) are rare but associated with a high rate of serious complications such as avascular femoral head necrosis (AVN). Major risk factors and prognostic tools for an AVN are still unclear. As AVN is a devastating complication, this study aims to evaluate [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
