Fractures of the femoral head are rarely described. These fractures are
diagnostic problems. The multiplicity of lesions associated with traumatic
dislocations of the hip joint makes it difficult to establish a well-d therapeutic approach. A young biker suffers from dislocation of the hip fracture associated with
a femoral head. Our approach was surgery. We use a Smith-Petersen exposure and
the orthopedic table, useful for accessing and fixing fragment. There are many
therapeutic options and depending on type of lesion, osteoarthritis is the most
common complication.
