RESUMEN
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) patients usually sustain repeated fractures from trivial trauma and also have skeletal deformities that affect walking. The bone fragility and repeated fractures produce deformities of the long bones especially in femur and tibia. However, neck of femur (NOF) fractures in OI are rarely described. A 11-year-old male patient known to have OI (Sillence type IV) sustained a NOF fracture after a fall. He also had proximal femoral anterolateral bowing proximally and over an intramedullary (IM) rod inserted 4 years back. He was treated by corrective osteotomy and stabilisation with an IM telescoping nail for the deformed femur and the Wagner technique for the NOF fracture. One year after operation, the patient had recovered satisfactory functional outcome with union of the NOF fracture and correction of the femoral deformity. Conclusion: The method of the Wagner technique can achieve stable fixation for femoral neck fractures and introduces the least interference with concurrent telescoping nail insertion.

RESUMEN
The incidence of Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) after management of femoral neck fracture in pediatrics is very rare. In this case report, a nine-year-old female child sustained left sided femur neck fracture after a motor car accident. The fracture was fixed by two cannulated screws and healing with mild varus occurred after six weeks. However, progressive slippage of femoral epiphysis was observed. This was treated by subtrochanteric valgus osteotomy and fixed by tension band and Wagner technique. Better radiological and functional outcomes were obtained at the short term follow up.
