Abstract

A case of open traumatic posterior dislocation of the hip is presented. The femoral head and neck were completely out of the skin and there were accompanying fractures of the acetabular floor, the ischial ramus and the greater trochanter. To our knowledge, such a case has not been reported previously and this, together with its interesting mechanism, has led us to report the case. It was followed for 18 months and roentgenographic and 99mtechnetium sulphur colloid scanning studies showed avascular necrosis and osteoarthritis.
