Abstract
Neglected femoral neck fractures are difficult to treat successfully without resorting to total hip arthroplasty. Baksi described a tensor fascia lata muscle pedicle bone graft procedure for such cases. Management of such fractures following poliomyelitis presents additional challenges. We present a case of a neglected femoral neck fracture in a young adult with late sequelae of poliomyelitis managed by Baksi's procedure. At final follow up at 2 years the patient was able to walk without aids and had returned to his job.
