title: Posterior fracture dislocation of the hip.
abstract: We have reviewed 46 posterior fracture dislocations of the hip treated at the University of Alabama in Birmingham Hospitals and the Birmingham Veterans Administration Hospital from 1963 to 1973. Of the 13 injuries which were followed up for at least one year, there were two good, five fair, and six poor clinical results. One instance of aseptic necrosis was documented. There was no obvious correlation between fracture type or treatment and clinical result in this preliminary series.
