ABSTRACT:
Fractures of the femoral head are rarely described. These fractures are
diagnostic problems. The multiplicity of lesions associated with traumatic
dislocations of the hip joint makes it difficult to establish awell-d therapeutic approach. A young biker suffers from dislocation of the hip fracture associated with
a femoral head. Our approach was surgery. We use a Smith-Petersen exposure and
the orthopedic table, useful for accessing and fixing fragment. There are many
therapeutic options and depending on type of lesion, osteoarthritis is the most
common complication.
