Concomitant Fractures of the Femoral Head and Neck Without Hip Dislocation

Abstract

This case report describes two patients who sustained ipsilateral fractures of the femoral head and femoral neck without dislocation of the hip. The fractures in the two patients resulted from vehicle accidents. The femoral head was fractured in the sagittal plane, and the femoral neck was fractured at the subcapital portion. However, the hip was not dislocated in either patient. Both patients were treated using cementless total hip arthroplasty. These unusual hip injuries have not been reported previously and are not categorized according to any known classification system of hip injuries.
