|
|
Hi Attendings,
I encountered an unusual case the other night and was wondering if anyone had seen or heard of similar. If not, do you reckon I could get it published as a case report?
I had a 22yr old kid come off a motorcycle and sustain a combination of injuries: Communinuted femoral head fracture dislocation, acetabular posterior wall fracture, AND a neck of femur fracture (all on the same side).
By my reading there is a Pipikin Classification which describes femoral head fractures and goes up to Type IV which then included an acetabular fracture, but to the best of my knowledge there is no further typing to describe the added femoral neck fracture.
If this is extraordinarily rare perhaps a case report of this "type V" etc would be accepted somewhere for case report publication? |
