Irreducible Posterior Hip Dislocation with Associated Isolated Comminuted Greater Trochanter Avulsion Fracture Treated with Universal Locking Trochanteric Stabilization Plate: A Rare Combination of Hip Injury

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.
