Unusual Combination of Posterior Femoral Head Dislocation and Ipsilateral Intertrochanteric Open Fracture: Case Report.

The combination of posterior femoral head dislocation with ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture is an extremely rare occurrence, therefore, few reports exist. In this paper, we describe a particular case of a middle-aged patient who sustained a high energy trauma which led amongst other to this lesion. We performed the reduction and fixation of the fracture-dislocation on a traction table with a Dynamic Hip Screw-plate (DHS-plate). Primary objectives of the treatment were to obtain a stable limb, to reduce blood loss in a polytraumatized patient and allow early mobilization. Follow-up after three months was good.
