Key Points

To identify risk factors for avascular necrosis in pediatric femoral neck fractures.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis
Analyzed existing studies on pediatric femoral neck fractures
Evaluated factors such as age, classification, displacement, and reduction quality
Older age, Delbet type I/II classification, initial displacement, and poor reduction quality are significant predictors of avascular necrosis.
Findings suggest early reduction and CRIF may yield better long-term outcomes.
Calls for more high-quality prospective studies with extended follow-up.

Implication

Systematic review and meta-analysis finds key predictors of avascular necrosis in pediatric femoral neck fractures, suggesting pathways for improved outcomes.
