More than two years delay in the union of fracture neck of femur after primary intervention

INTRODUCTION More than two years delay in the union of fracture neck of femur is a very rare entity.The treatment of an established non union depends on numerous factors including age of the patient, vascularity of the femoral head and other factors. It is timing of intervention that is not clearly defined in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION We report 2 cases where fracture neck of femur in 2 Asian males of 37 and 52 years of age took more than 2 years to unite after primary intervention. CONCLUSION We believe if the implant is holding and patient is able to bear some weight, some of these fractures may unite without any further intervention.
