Pediatric proximal femur fractures are rare injuries resulting from high-energy trauma. The Delbet classification is used when describing these injuries, and associates fracture type to the development of avascular necrosis. Historically, casting was utilized in the treatment of these injuries, but high complication rates following this approach have changed the treatment modality to early and anatomic fixation. Complications associated with these injuries including avascular necrosis, non-union, coxa-vara, and premature physeal fusion. Achieving anatomic reduction and performing internal fixation within 24 h from time of injury has become the standard of care in the treatment of pediatric proximal femur fractures.
