Abstract

The majority of hip fractures occur in elderly patients and are considered extremely rare in young patients. They are caused by high energy trauma in most of the cases and the incidence is less than 10%.
They are associated with avascular necrosis of the femoral head, malunion and significant limb shortening. We report a case of a 20-year-old patient with a hip fracture and a review of the recent literature considering the guidelines for operative treatment of hip fractures in young patients.
