Closed reduction of posterior hip dislocation with ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture: A case report

Abstract

Posterior hip dislocation with ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture is a unique injury pattern that has been reported in the orthopedic literature recently. Manual closed reduction of the posterior hip dislocation is exceedingly difficult due to the inability to gain adequate traction of the distal femur fragment. Therefore, the hip dislocation is most often managed in the operative setting.
