title: [Traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip associated with ipsilateral femoral neck fracture: a case report].
abstract: A thirty-nine-year-old female patient was brought to the emergency room following an automobile accident. Radiographic examination revealed a subcapital fracture of the left femur associated with anterior femoral head dislocation, and a contralateral comminuted femoral shaft fracture. Computed tomography showed that the acetabulum was empty, with the femoral head dislocated anteriorly close to the obturator foramen. Uncemented total hip arthroplasty and locked intramedullary nailing were performed on the left and right sides, respectively. Sixty-two months after surgery, she had no difficulty in performing daily activities.
