Primary Complex Total Hip Arthroplasty in Neglected Anterior Hip Dislocation With Comminuted Pertrochanteric Femur Fracture.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Neglected anterior hip dislocation combined with comminuted pertrochanteric ipsilateral fracture of the femur is rare, with few reports in the literature. The present report describes the case of a 7-month-old neglected anterior hip dislocation with a pertrochanteric femoral fracture in a 45-year-old male patient. The patient was treated with total hip arthroplasty with proximal femoral reconstruction. The 2-year follow-up showed good clinical and radiological outcomes with a painless and mobile hip joint. The Harris-Hip score improved from 10 (preoperatively) to 89 (postoperatively) after 2 years. The patient was satisfied with the intervention and showed minimal lurch with ambulation with no leg-length discrepancy. However, long-term results from periodic follow-up are warranted.
