Abstract
We report a case of neglected anterior dislocation of the hip. A young man presented 5 months following a fall from a tree where he sustained the injury. An MRI of the hip confirmed avascular necrosis of the dislocated head of femur. A modified girdlestone operation was performed leaving the patient with a painfree functional hip.Entities:
