Functional Outcome of Pipkin Type III Fracture Managed by Osteosynthesis through Trochanteric Flip Osteotomy in a Young Patient after 5 Years Follow-Up – A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract: Introduction: Femoral head fractures are uncommon. A femoral head fracture associated with an ipsilateral neck of femur fracture is classified as a Pipkin’s Type III fracture and is exceedingly rare. It is a high-energy injury associated with an extremely poor prognosis. This has led some authors to advocate primary arthroplasty for these injuries. The aim of reporting this case is that in young patients even with severely displaced Pipkin’s Type III injuries, it is reasonable to opt for internal fixation of t… Show more
