Ipsilateral femoral neck with shaft fracture (IFNSF) in the paediatric population is a rare injury. This high-impact trauma is often associated with other orthopaedic and systemic injuries. Prognosis is usually guarded as both these osseous injuries are serious and exist together. We report two such patients of IFNSF.
