چکیده

RATIONALE Pipkin III fracture, which is characterized by high risk of avascular necrosis of the femoral head, is extremely rare. It is more difficult to treat and has a worse prognosis when accompanied with severe acetabular fractures. Few studies show that both Pipkin type III femoral head fracture-dislocation and complicated acetabular fracture presented in one patient. PATIENT CONCERNS A 34-year-old male suffered a terrible traffic accident with a serious damage to the left side when he was sitting in the car's cockpit. Pelvic radiograph and 3-dimensional reconstruction of computed tomography revealed characteristics of fractures before the emergency operation. DIAGNOSIS Pipkin III fractures combined with complicated acetabular fracture. INTERVENTIONS Firstly, we used combined anterior and posterior approach for treatment to fix the femoral head fractures. Then, we completed anatomical reduction of fractures with countersunk head screw, hollow screw, and reconstruction plate. OUTCOMES At the 12-months follow-up, the patient could walk freely and perform activities of daily living without necrosis of femoral head and heterotopic ossification. LESSONS Although there are serious complications in Pipkin III fractures combined with complicated acetabular fracture, early surgical treatment with appropriate approach and fixation could get satisfactory results.

Keely and Lipscomb reported that the incidence of this type of femoral head fracture is two cases per one million per year [2]. Treatment strategies in femoral head fracture-dislocations are very controversial and represent one of the few true orthopedic e...

Posterior Hip Fracture -Dislocation Associated with Ipsilateral Intertrochantric Fracture; a Rare Case Report

Hip dislocation occurs when the femur does not break and the force is transmitted towards the hip joint leading to a posterior dislocation of the femoral head with or without posterior acetabular fracture. We present the case of a 26 year old patient involved in motor vehicle accident. Clinical and imaging (radiography, CT) examination revealed an intertrochanteric fracture associated with ipsi...

Application of Trochanteric Flip Osteotomy with Herbert Screw to Treat Pipkin I,II Fracture of the Femoral Head

There is no definite protocol in management of Pipkin fracture in relation to operation approach and internal fixations. The aim is to explore the therapeutic effects of internal fixation with Herbert screws for the treatment of Pipkin type I and type II femoral head fractures through the trochanteric flip osteotomy (TFO) approach. From January 2010 to December 2014, 12 cases of type I and II P...

Letter to the editor: Use of a trochanteric flip osteotomy improves outcomes in Pipkin IV fractures.

UNLABELLED The optimal surgical approach for combined femoral head and acetabular fractures (Pipkin IV) is controversial because of their rarity and lack of definitive reports. Surgical dislocation with trochanteric flip osteotomy (TFO) allows simultaneous exposure of the acetabulum and femoral head. We protected the obturator internus and inferior capsule during repair with a heavy suture at t...
