Combined irreducible femoral head fracture-dislocation (Pipkin Ⅳ) and ipsilateral irreducible intertrochanteric fracture: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Irreducible femoral head fracture-dislocation (FHFD) with concomitant ipsilateral irreducible intertrochanteric fracture significantly increase the difficulty, which undescribed previously. We recorded a surgical strategy for the rare and high-energy injuries, and conducted a follow-up over a period of 4.5 months.

Patient concerns

A 50-year-old male experienced a motor vehicle collision to the left hip. The assessment by X-ray and 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) scan of the left hip confirmed a left posterior hip dislocation with an associated displaced infrafoveal femoral head fracture and a small posterior wall acetabular fracture (Pipkin IV), and an intertrochanteric fracture (Evans-Jensen type II). Both the FHFD and intertrochanteric fracture reveal
