{Abstract}: <B>METHODS: </B>An 18-year-old autistic boy with seizure disorder had a 4-month-old hip injury with a similar right hip injury 6 months earlier. X-rays revealed an ununited fracture neck femur on the left and a malunited fracture neck femur on the right hip. Magnetic resonance imaging indicated preserved head vascularity. Valgus osteotomy and double-angle plate fixation of both hips were performed at an interval of 2 months.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Delayed presentation bilateral neck fractures are rare. X-rays showed healed fractures with no avascular necrosis in both hips at 2-year 6-month follow-up. Valgus osteotomy is ideal and relevant for osteosynthesis in selected ununited femur neck fractures.
