<p class="abstract">Neglected traumatic fracture dislocation of the hip is a challenging problem due to soft tissue contractures, adhesions, fibro fatty tissue filling acetabulum, avascular necrosis, arthritis and myositis ossificans. These types of injury often get missed at initial evaluation in the presence of distracting injuries and in poly trauma patients. Femoral head fractures account for only 7-16% of all hip fracture dislocations, with combined femoral head and acetabular fractures in elderly being even lower. Literature favours primary hip replacement as compared to hip salvage in age above 60 years and in patients with neglected hip fracture dislocations of more than 3 months duration due to high chances of afore mentioned complications. Here, we report a case of 69 years old male with neglected hip fracture dislocation associated with posterior acetabular wall and femoral head fracture for the challenges in management with a total hip replacement.</p>

Fracture of the femoral head and the acetabulum with traumatic dislocation of the hip is a severe injury representing various types and unfavorable outcome. We showed a 45-year-old man with Pipkin type-IV fracture and coxa valga. An immediate closed reduction was achieved followed by open reduction and internal fixation via a posterior approach 6 days later. However, dislocation occurred three times without traumatic events after three weeks. CT demonstrated no displacement of posterior fragments or implant failure. Femoral intertrochanteric varus osteotomy was performed to gain concentric stability and successfully resolved recurrent dislocation. Another 45-year-old woman with Pipkin type-IV fracture and coxa valga also underwent closed reduction initially and then continued conservative treatment. After eight weeks, when she started gait training, progressive pain became symptomatic. Persistent hip pain at weight bearing was not improved in spite of arthroscopic synovectomy and osteochondroplasty. Two years after injury, femoral intertrochanteric varus osteotomy was indicated and her refractory pain was resolved gradually. We suggest that femoral varus osteotomy should be considered for superolateral subluxation associated fracture dislocation of the hip in Pipkin type-IV and coxa valga.

We present a case report of a 45-year old man who sustained a central dislocation of the hip secondary to an insufficiency fracture of the acetabulum. At the time of presentation he was on alendronate therapy for osteoporosis which had been previously investigated. CT scanning of the pelvis was useful for pre-operative planning which confirmed collapse of the femoral head but no discontinuity of the pelvis. The femoral head was morcellized and used as bone graft for the acetabular defect and an uncemented total hip replacement was performed.

Introduction:High-energy trauma has increased the incidence of traumatic hip dislocation. In most cases, dislocation of the hip is associated with fractures of the acetabulum. However, its association with ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture is very rare. Case Report:We present a case of a 54-year-old male who had uncommon fracture pattern involving ipsilateral intertrochanteric femur fracture associated with ipsilateral posterior fracture dislocation of hip following a road traffic accident. He underwent closed reduction of the dislocation followed by an open reduction and internal fixation of the fractures. Through Kocher-Langenbeck approach, the intertrochanteric fracture was reduced and fixed with dynamic hip screw and derotation anti-rotation screw. Acetabulum fractures then fixed after reduction with two reconstruction plates. Conclusion:Early recognition and orthopedic intervention constitute the cornerstones of satisfactory outcomes in cases with such complex injuries. Keywords:Posterior hip dislocation, acetabular fractures, intertrochanteric fracture.
