Ipsilateral Intertrochanteric and Pipkin Fractures: An Unusual Case

Abstract not available. Introduction provided instead.

We report the case of an ipsilateral femoral head fracture and an associated intertrochanteric fracture sustained in a motor vehicle accident. This extremely rare injury pattern presents a unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the treating surgeon. Open reduction and internal fixation of the femoral head fracture and intramedullary nailing of the intertrochanteric femur fracture resulted in a successful clinical outcome.
