Abstract
Posterior hip dislocation with concomitant femoral fracture is very rare. Here, we report a rare case of a 43-year-old man who was injured in a car accident. The patient sustained right posterior hip dislocation with concomitant right acetabular transverse and posterior wall fracture, ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture, and contralateral proximal femoral fracture (AO type 31-A3). Closed reduction of the hip was attempted, but failed. The acetabular fracture and posterior hip dislocation were reduced and acetabular fracture was fixed using plates through the Kocher-Langenbeck approach. The ipsilateral femoral fracture was treated with closed reduction and intramedullary nailing. The contralateral femoral fracture was treated with closed reduction and Gamma 3 nailing. Postoperative X-rays revealed reduction of the fractures. The patient achieved bone union and recovered function of the hip 4 months after surgery.Entities:
