TI  - Cystic Fibrosis with Paediatric Femoral Neck Stress Fracture: A Case Report and the Review of Literature
AB  - Cystic fibrosis is a common genetic disease of the white population with autosomal recessive inheritance. It may present with sinopulmonary,gastrointestinal, genitourinary, bone and joint findings. Osteoporosis, osteopenia, and fractures are musculoskeletal problems related to thedisease. Although vertebral fractures are common, non-vertebral fractures have been reported rarely. In this case report, we present the caseof a 9-year-old girl with osteopenia-induced femoral neck stress fracture caused by cystic fibrosis. During hospitalization for sinopulmonaryinfection, the patient presented to our clinic with left thigh pain without trauma. The left hip joint was examined and found to be clear.Anterior posterior X-ray examination of the patient, who had difficulty in stepping, revealed no displaced fracture. The patient was laterdiagnosed with type 2 Fullerton & Snowdy fracture, and surgical fixation was ruled out. The patient was successfully treated with non-steroidalanti-inflammatory drugs and immobilization.
