Abstract EN
Posttraumatic cortical defect of bone is a rare entity which occurs in a maturing skeleton following green stick or torus fracture.
Most of the cases are asymptomatic and they are detected incidentally on radiograph.
These lesions usually require no treatment.
However, the appearance of these lesions can mimic various pathological conditions affecting bone.
Knowledge about this entity is important as it avoids unnecessary investigations.
We present this case as the occurrence of this entity in femur is very rare and the child was symptomatic.
