  • Title: Obturator hip dislocation with ipsilateral fractures of the femoral head and femoral neck. A case report.
    Author: McClelland SJ, Bauman PA, Medley CF, Shelton ML.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1987 Nov; (224):164-8. PubMed ID: 3665237.
    Abstract:
    A 28-year-old female pedestrians, struck by an automobile, sustained an obturator hip dislocation with concomitant ipsilateral fractures of both the femoral head and femoral neck. This unusual hip injury seems not to have been previously reported. The femoral neck fracture was widely separated from the shaft, and unfortunately, a 6-mm deep indentation fracture involved the anterosuperior portion of the articulating surface of the femoral head. This complex injury was treated with a press-fit bipolar prosthesis.
