Central Fracture Dislocation of Hip With Ipsilateral Femoral Neck Fracture: A Case Report.

Key Points

This case report aims to describe a rare occurrence of central fracture dislocation associated with an ipsilateral femoral neck fracture and the surgical approach taken.
A 31-year-old woman was treated following a high-energy road traffic accident.
Surgical reduction of the femoral head and internal fixation of femoral neck and acetabulum was performed within 6 hours.
Dynamic hip screw and plate fixation methods were utilized.
The patient showed good functional recovery at 1 year post-surgery.
No avascular necrosis was observed in the femoral head.

Abstract

Central fracture dislocation of the hip with associated ipsilateral femoral neck fracture is exceedingly rare and presents a formidable management challenge. CASE: A 31-year-old woman sustained this fracture with medial displacement of the femoral head into the pelvic cavity after a high-energy road traffic accident. Within 6 hours, surgical reduction of the femoral head and internal fixation of both femoral neck and acetabulum were performed using a dynamic hip screw and a plate, respectively. At 1 year, the patient demonstrated good functional recovery without avascular necrosis. CONCLUSION: This case highlights the importance of early fixation in preserving femoral head viability in combined acetabular and femoral neck injuries.
