Unusual combination of femoral head dislocation associated acetabular fracture with ipsilateral neck and shaft fractures: A case report.

Traumatic posterior hip dislocation associated with a fracture of the femoral neck is a rare injury. The combination of an acetabular fracture and a fracture of the femoral neck and shaft with posterior dislocation of the femoral head is even more rare. No case similar to ours was found in the literature available. We report a case of ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fracture with associated fracture of acetabulum and dislocation of femoral head in addition to the diastasis of symphysis pubis and fracture of the right side radius distal end fracture in a car driver. The case was an unusual femur and hip injury that could not be classified with the present classification systems.
