Femoral head fractures: diagnosis, management, and complications
Orthop Clin North Am.
2004 Oct.
Abstract
Femoral head fractures occur with a reported incidence of 6%-16% after hip dislocation. Even the largest series have evaluated only a few dozen patients, often collecting experience from multiple centers. This article provides the clinician with current information to guide the diagnosis and treatment of this uncommon condition.
