- Pelvic fractures result from high energy trauma and often associated with concomitant injuries. But, vertically unstable pelvic fractures combined with anterior dislocation of the hip is far less common. The traumatic dislocation of the hip is a true orthopedic emergency and it should be considered that a femoral head can be exposed to deteriorized vascularity. We report a case of vertically unstable pelvic fractures combined with traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip joint with the review of the literature.
