INTRAPELVIC DISLOCATION OF THE HEAD OF FEMUR THROUGH THE OBTURATOR FORAMEN ASSOCIATED WITH IPSILATERAL FRACTURE FEMUR

Intrapelvic dislocation of the head of femur through the obturator foramen associated with ipsilateral fracture femur.

We describe a case of traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip in a 14-year-old boy with associated intrapelvic displacement of the femoral head and ipsilateral fractures of the shaft of the femur and greater trochanter. There was a delay in presentation of eight days. At operation the femoral head was reduced into the acetabulum after enlarging the obturator foramen by performing an osteotomy...

Obturator Dislocation of Hip with Ipsilateral Fracture Neck Femur-A Case Report

Introduction Traumatic dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral fracture neck femur is a rare injury because of the different mechanism of both these injuries. The management of such injuries is a challenge as the chances of nonunion and avascular necrosis of femoral head are very high with fixation methods. We report a case of obturator dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral fracture neck of t...

Traumatic Dislocation of the Hip with Fracture of the Shaft of the Ipsilateral Femur.

Traumatic dislocation ofthe hip with a fracture ofthe shaft ofthe femur on the same side is such a rare injury that, although there are several reports ofsingle patients, only two surgeons, Dehne and Immermann (1951), have reported treating a number ofpatients. Sir Astley Cooper in I 823 was the first to record the successful treatment of this condition. His patient, a boy of sixteen, had a fra...

A rare medley: concurrent ipsilateral femur head and neck fracture without hip dislocation

Simultaneous post-traumatic ipsilateral fracture of femur head and subcapital femur neck without hip dislocation is a rare presentation and easily missed on X-ray imaging. A 48 years old male, with a history of high-energy road traffic accident, presented to us with severe pain in the left hip region and inability to ambulate. Preliminary X-ray showed impacted subcapital fracture with varus ang...
