Case: Posterior hip dislocations are classically associated with posterior acetabular wall fractures. We report the case of a 29-year-old man presented after a motorcycle accident with an unusual combination of injuries that included posterior hip dislocation, anterior column acetabulum fracture, femoral head fracture, and sciatic nerve injury. At the final follow-up, excellent outcomes were obtained with complete recovery of the sciatic nerve injury.

Conclusion: A favorable outcome may be achieved in young patients who sustain this unusual compilation of ipsilateral anterior acetabulum fracture, posterior hip dislocation, femoral head fracture, and sciatic nerve injury with meticulous preoperative surgical planning and tailored patient management.

Variation of Neck Length on Anterior and Posterior Aspect of Femur in Bangladeshi People.

Mymensingh Med J

Dr Rafuja Afrin Shanto, Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Central International Medical College, Ring Road, Shyamoli, Dhaka, Bangladesh; E-mail:

The regional variation of the femur bone is influenced by sex, stature geographical area and heredity, as the environment plays an important role in the developmental process. This cross-sectional descriptive purposive study was done on 150 (64 right and 86 left) fully ossified dry human femur of Bangladeshi people to find out the variation of neck length on anterior and posterior aspect. Sample was collected in the Department of Anatomy, Mymensingh Medical College, Bangladesh from January 2019 to December 2019.

Objectives: To report outcomes of femoral neck fractures (FNFs) treated with Femoral Neck System (FNS) and to compare the risks of later conversion to arthroplasty for FNS and fixation with cannulated screws (CNSs).

Design: A retrospective study.

Setting: A single-center study (Turku University Hospital, Finland).

Introduction: Salvage arthroplasty for failed proximal femoral fracture fixation is a complex procedure. This involves the removal of the primary failed or broken implant followed by a hip joint replacement procedure. The complications and technical difficulties associated with these surgeries are often difficult to anticipate.

Morphological and bone defect mapping analysis of true acetabulum in Crowe type IV hip dysplasia.

J Orthop Surg Res

December 2024

Department of Orthopedics, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, 510080, China.

Background: The primary aim of this study was to quantitatively analysis the acetabular morphological feature and 2D/3D coverage of the Crowe IV DDH hip, dividing into subgroups by the false acetabulum. The secondary aim was to propose a 3D bone mapping to determine acetabular bone defect analysis from the perspective of the implanted simulation.

Methods: A total of 53 Crowe IV hips (27 hips without the false acetabulum in IVa group and 26 hips in IVb group) and 40 normal hips met the inclusion criteria and were retrospectively evaluated.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty is the preferred treatment for advanced hip osteoarthritis, yet complications like hip dislocation (0.2 %-10 %) persist due to factors such as implant design, positioning, surgical technique, and patient-specific conditions. Impingement between prosthetic components or the acetabulum and proximal femur is a primary cause of instability.
