Article Synopsis
- - A narrative review analyzed 50 articles on femoral head fractures, involving 1403 cases, focusing on their management, complications, and clinical outcomes using the PRISMA strategy for literature evaluation.
- - Surgical treatment was predominant (90.8%), with anatomical reconstruction preferred in 76.7% of cases, while the most common surgical method was a posterior approach (52.5%), yielding excellent or good results in 70.5% of patients treated.
- - Major complications included avascular necrosis (10.8%) and post-traumatic arthritis (16.2%), with minimal invasive osteosynthesis and surgical hip dislocation showing the best functional outcomes and lower complication rates, suggesting the Ganz flip osteotomy as
Background: Femoral posterior hip dislocation with associated femoral head fractures (Pipkin fractures) are rare high-energy injuries. Published treatment modalities involve conservative treatment, head fragment resection, open reduction and internal fixation, and total hip replacement. The experience with mini-invasive screw osteosynthesis of these fractures is the main focus of our study.

The aim of the study was to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and functional outcome after treatment of four-part fractures of proximal humerus with Multiloc proximal humeral nail.
Design: prospective monocentric cohort study.
