AbstractManagement of non-united neck femur fracture in young patients is still a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. In this study 35 patients with non-united fracture neck femur were treated by valgus osteotomy and fixation with dynamic hip screw over a period of 4 years. Union was achieved in 30 patients (86%) after an average period of 20 weeks. Among them avascular necrosis of femoral head was seen in 4 patients. Average limb length shortening in the affected limb after union was 1 cm. Valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy and fixation by dynamic hip screw is an effective, cheap and relatively easy method for treatment of non-united fracture neck femur in young patients.
