Clinical Details

Clinical and radiological findings:  40 year old skier, sends a cliff in early winter conditions, ends up with this: Pipken 4 femoral head fracture (Pipken 2 + cranial peripheral acetabular fracture).

Surgical Discussion

Operative remarks: 

Following femoral head fixation I did an EUA of the hip to determine if the acetabular rim fracture required fixation for hip stability. The hip was stable on EUA so no acetabular fixation was needed. Originally posted on Instagram by @orthopaedic_trauma.
