BACKGROUND Ipsilateral femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures in young patients are extremely rare, and there is no reference for fracture classification and treatment options. CASE SUMMARY We report a 27-year-old male patient who sustained ipsilateral femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures and was treated with a proximal femoral locking compression plate (PFLCP). The literature on these fractures was also reviewed. At the last follow-up three years after surgery, the patient had no obvious pain in the hip, and the range of motion in the hip joint was slightly limited, but met the normal life and work needs. There were no complications such as necrosis of the femoral head. CONCLUSION The PFLCP can be used to treat these complex proximal femoral fractures, and selection should be based on the patient's specific fractures.
