  • Title: Fracture of the neck of the femur associated with posterior dislocation of the hip.
    Author: Klasen HJ, Binnendijk B.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1984 Jan; 66(1):45-8. PubMed ID: 6693476.
    Abstract:
    Two patients are described, each with a fracture-dislocation of the hip combined with a fracture of the neck of the same femur. Open reduction combined with internal fixation was performed in both cases. Eight years later one patient had developed avascular necrosis of the femoral head; no signs of avascular necrosis or associated arthritis have appeared in the other patient after four years. A plea is made for considering this more conservative type of operation for these serious injuries before resorting to total hip replacement.
