Abstract: Proximal femur fractures, though rare and constituting only 1% of all pediatric fractures, pose significant chal- lenges in pediatric traumatology due to a high complication rate of 33%. This paper explores the epidemiolog- ical, pathophysiological, and treatment principles of these fractures in children, aiming to inform clinicians and guide families through the treatment process. It discusses surgical indications, implant options, and contempo- rary operative techniques, emphasizing the importance of anatomical reduction, stable fixation, and timely sur- gical intervention within 24 hours post-trauma.
