Comminuted fracture along right posterior-superior acetabulum with marked posterior dislocation of the right femoral head associated with multiple intraarticular loose bone fragments.
Fractures along the right acetabular anterior column are also noted.
Case Discussion
Posterior hip dislocations are much more common than anterior hip dislocations and are most often the result of motor vehicle accidents.
