Résumé
The subtrochanteric fractures are relatively rare in the child and they consti-
tute a therapeutic problem. The pseudarthrosis of this fracture in the child is
often the complication of a subtrochanteric fracture treated orthopedically.
We report the case of a subtrochanteric pseudarthrosis in a 5 year-old child
occurred following an orthopedic treatment. After surgical treatment by
bloody reduction and pinning, the pseudarthrosis consolidated in 10 months
with satisfactory functional results.
