Intertrochanteric fracture of the femur with ipsilateral central fracture of the acetabulum

R S Browne et al. Injury. 1980 Feb.

Abstract

The management of three patients each of whom sustained an intertrochanteric fracture of the femur with an ipsilateral central fracture of the acetabulum is described. Complications encountered in the first patient, using a standard nail and plate type of fixation, suggested that a screw compression system should be used for this combination of injuries. This method of internal fixation was successful in the treatment of the two other patients.
