Abstract
Femoral neck non union is a relatively uncommon complication following intracapsular hip fracture in the young patient. Almost all patients with femoral neck non union are symptomatic for which they will require some form of revision surgery. This review discusses the role of valgus osteotomy in managing the younger patient with femoral neck non union.
