Type IV: Type I, II, or III with associated fracture of the acetabulum. Femoral head fractures occur in 6% to 7% of posterior hip dislocations.
This is a Pipkin type I and II fracture dislocation of the hip, treated with Herbert screws to reconstruct the head (figure 3, page 2). View the correct answer.
I have sought the input of an esteemed panel to discuss some new and unusual types of femoroacetabular impingement and extra-articular hip impingement. Dean K. Matsuda, MD Moderator ...
"'Dual mobility' hip replacement implant reduces risk of dislocation, study finds." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 7 November 2018. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2018 / 11 / 181107130247.htm>.
