NOTES Traumatic sub capital fracture of left femur,1960, age 10. Initial intervention included closed reduction and four weeks of skeletal traction followed by half-spica plaster casting for six weeks. At some unknown point after cast application, the joint healed in poor alignment.

ORIF ensued with placement of three Hagie pins. By 1963, follow up radiologic studies identified aseptic necrosis. Few options were available at that time and Arthrodesis was performed, using autologous bone from the anterior iliac crest secured with hardware.
