Abstract
Reported herein is a race case of a patient with a pathologic fracture through a cyst in the femoral neck that resulted in avascular necrosi s of the femoral epiphysis. This type of necrosis is commonly understo od to follow displaced fractures of the femoral neck in children, but has also been reported to follow undisplaced fractures.
