Abstract

Transphyseal fractures of the proximal femur (Delbet 1) are typically the result of high-energy injuries such as motor vehicle accidents or a fall from height and are therefore exceptionally rare, accounting for less than 1% of pediatric fractures. Given the amount of energy involved in these injuries, there are often associated injuries that may require treatment. There is a high risk of avascular necrosis (AVN) (80-100%) associated with this type of fracture, and thus achieving anatomic reduction is important. We present the case of an 11-year-old male who sustained a transphyseal proximal femur fracture and underwent successful closed reduction with percutaneous screw fixation.
