Introduction: Ipsilateral fractures of the shaft of the femur combined with hip dislocations are extremely rare injuries, presenting a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Diagnosis of hip dislocation is often delayed, due to the focus on femoral fracture.

Case Presentation: This article presents a case never described before of a 19-year-old patient who sustained this unusual combination of injuries as a result of a road traffic accident.

Introduction: Isolated unicondylar fractures of the distal femur are rare injuries, accounting for 3-6 % of adult femur fractures. The association with a femoral shaft fracture is very rare and, to our knowledge, has, never been described in the literature.

Case Presentation: In this article, we report the case of a 19-year-old motorcyclist involved in an accident, that resulted in both a midshaft transverse femoral fracture and an ipsilateral sagittal fracture of the medial femoral condyle (Trélat fracture).

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Houssam Eddine Rachidi"

  • - Houssam Eddine Rachidi's recent research focuses on rare orthopedic injuries, particularly compound fractures and their associated complexities, highlighting unique cases that challenge traditional diagnostic and treatment protocols.
  • - His publications describe unprecedented combinations of fractures, such as the irreversible posterior fracture-dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral femoral shaft fractures, and other rare associations like a talar neck fracture combined with a bimalleolar ankle fracture.
  • - The findings emphasize the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluation in cases of trauma to prevent delays in treatment and improve outcomes for patients with these unusual injury patterns.
