Isolated knee pain as a presentation for proximal femur fracture in paediatrics

Proximal femur fracture in paediatric patients are very rare and can easily be missed especially when the history of trauma is so trivial, and associated with pathological fracture. We report a case of 6-year-old girl with a history of left knee pain following a fall from a height of 2 feet. She was...
