ABSTRACT: Posterior hip dislocation with greater
trochanter fracture is an uncommon injury
pattern in the acute trauma patient. Frequently associated injury includes a combination of hip
dislocation with posterior wall of acetabulum, head of femur fracture,
intertrochanteric fracture and even the most severe type of combined acetabular fracture. We report a 42-year-old man post traumatic
bilateral hip injuries with irreducible posterior hip dislocation and
associated isolated greater trochanteric fracture successfully managed with
open reduction and fixation of greater trochanter with universal locking
trochanteric stabilization plate.
