ABSTRACT
CASE We report a case of a 3-year-old girl who developed a post-infectious femoral neck pseudoarthrosis after a proximal hematogenous femoral osteomyelitis (type 3 according to Hunka classification of the sequelae of the septic hip in children). The patient was treated by a modified "SUPERhip 2" procedure (a reconstructive procedure described to reconstruct congenital femoral neck pseudoarthrosis). This report describes the surgical technique in details and discusses the advantages, pitfalls, and complications and possible complications. CONCLUSION:
Our modification simplifies the "SUPERhip 2" procedure. Postinfectious neck pseudoarthrosis was successfully treated, and we believe this modification is applicable for the treatment of congenital femoral neck pseudoarthrosis as well.
