  Background: Non-union of the femoral neck fracture in young and middle-aged patients is a problem and can be very debilitating. If the femoral head is viable, the most appropriate treatment is valgus osteotomy that without refreshing of the fracture site, it only increases the femoral neck angle to change shearing force to compression force. In this study, after refreshing the non-union site and establishing normal relation between head and neck of the femur, valgus osteotomy was done. Materials and methods: In this case-series study, of all patients who had femoral neck non-union and presented during a 2-year period to Sina Hospital and were less than 60 years of age with a viable femoral head, 22 patients (18 males and 4 females) with a mean age of 34 years (20-47 years) were studied.
