A 12-year-old @entity1 sustained a @entity130 to the proximal femur. The bullet hole passed through the femoral neck very close to the proximal femoral physis (Ogden type 8 physeal injury) without @entity531 . The @entity1 was treated conservatively with antibiotics and bedrest. Nine months later, avascular @entity39 of the @entity2738 ( @entity1605 ) and limb shortening of 2 cm had developed. For this reason, a valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy was performed 1 year after the injury. However, only partial revascularization of a @entity39 @entity2738 segment occurred. For the residual @entity39 segment in the weight-bearing area and progressive shortening of the femur 3.5 years after injury, a valgus-extension intertrochanteric osteotomy was performed and remodelling of the @entity39 fragment done. The @entity1 is now over 19 years old. He has only minimal @entity158 after sports activity and a slightly limited range of movement. The limb shortening is 1.5 cm.
