Neglected hip fracture-dislocations are rare but still possible clinical situations, especially in developing countries.

Abstract
Neglected hip fracture-dislocations are rare but still possible clinical situations, especially in developing countries. Some authors described skeletal traction and open reduction with internal fixation as a treatment for the abovementioned conditions. Despite the poor literature about this topic, total hip arthroplasty (THA) may be a feasible option in the treatment of neglected hip fracture-dislocations. We present a case of a 34-year-old Moroccan man reporting a 1-year neglected acetabular fracture with hip dislocation successfully treated with THA. The patient showed a significant improvement of pain, range of motion and his quality of life at 45 days. Our experience shows how a neglected acetabular fracture with hip dislocation can be successfully treated with THA. Considering the complexity of these cases, an accurate preoperative planning is mandatory and the prosthetic components' choice must be customised to the patient.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
