Abstract
A 25-year-old man with a hip dislocation and Pipkin II type femoral head fracture, whose surgical treatment was postponed for 15 days due to Covid 19 pandemic, is described. For 2 months after surgery, treatment was supported by therapy in a hyperbaric chamber and with a continuous passive motion (CPM) splint. Four months after surgery, bone fusion of the femoral head fracture was achieved with its normal revascularization. Two years after the operation, the patient was moving efficiently and had no complaints of hip pain. Delayed open reduction and internal fixation of the femoral head fracture resulted in a very good functional and radiological outcome.
