Due to the intrinsic anatomical stability of the hip, most of these injuries result from high-energy trauma. Treatment is typically an emergency surgery that includes the reduction of the dislocated hip under anesthesia to fix the fracture of the head of the femur and reduce dislocation. Treatment outcomes tend to be inconsistent, largely because of the fracture's frequent association with pain, joint stiffness, and loss of function. Complications that are most commonly seen after femoral head fractures are osteonecrosis, osteoarthritis, and heterotopic ossification.</p><p><strong>Case report: </strong>A 39-year-old male came to casualty with an alleged history of road traffic accident with multiple fractures in bilateral upper limb, multiple rib fractures, and brachial plexus injury. Computed tomography of the pelvis with both hips was done, which showed a fracture of the left femoral head with a proximal fracture fragment found inside the acetabulum with posterior dislocation of the distal part - left femoral head fracture dislocation (Pipkin type I). Closed reduction of the hip joint failed; hence, open reduction using the Kocher-Langenbeck (KL) approach was carried out, head reduced, transfixed with guide wires, and fixed with three CC screws.

Percentage improvement trends favoured DLO for specific outcomes over the long term.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>DLO provides more accurate HKA alignment with lower complication rates in JLO, PFA, and PTS changes, while both procedures yield comparable overall KSS scores. The enhanced KSS Function outcomes with DLO indicate a potential clinical advantage in maintaining higher functional activity and patient satisfaction over time. These findings support the use of DLO for patients requiring precise correction of significant varus deformities with sustained functional benefits.</p>","PeriodicalId":16647,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports","volume":"15 9","pages":"367-375"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12422676/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145040458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
