Abstract

Traumatic dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture was a rare injury. In this paper, 3 cases of these combined injuries are reported together with a review of the literature. After closed reduction of the two dislocated hips, the shaft fractures were treated, one with the Kiintscher nail, and the other with blade plate & screws. The remain was treated by Watson-Jones method. In the follow-up study, a fair result in one case and good results in two cases were obtained. Complications in 2 cases were peroneal nerve palsy. One case had pathologic ossification and one developed traumatic arthritis.
