Abstract
Isolated paediatric femoral fracture is common and can be missed due to many Factors such as patient related, clinical, technical and radiological error. Careful listening to patient complain and examination along with careful look up and emphasising in radiological evaluation used for diagnosis. Prophylactic bed rest or hip brace is an option in such condition for short period and callus might show up.
