Paediatric bilateral femoral neck fractures in osteopetrosis treated conservatively.

The treatment of pathological femoral neck fracture in children due to osteopetrosis is not clear as only a few cases have been reported to date. We encountered a 7-year-old osteopetrotic girl with asynchronous bilateral femoral neck fractures. Radiographical assessment showed markedly dense bones with loss of corticomedullary differentiation, sandwich vertebrae and increased density of the ribs.

Neglected Comminuted Fracture of the Capitellum.

Fracture of the capitellum is a rare injury, accounting for about 1% of the fractures around the elbow. We report the case of a young adult with elbow pain and swelling presenting to us three weeks after the injury. Radiographs suggested a comminuted fracture of the capitellum extending medially to the trochlea.
