Traumatic Anterior Hip Dislocation With an Open Book Pelvic Fracture and Femoral Artery Compression: An Atypical Case Report.

CASE: A 34-year-old patient was involved in a motorcycle accident, resulting in an anterior hip dislocation associated with an open book pelvic fracture and compression to the femoral artery. He required an emergent closed reduction of the hip dislocation and open reduction and internal fixation of the pelvic fracture.

CONCLUSION

This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high level of suspicion for anterior hip dislocation, particularly in patients involved in motorcycle accidents, where a flexed, abducted, and externally rotated hip is common. Timely diagnosis allows for prompt treatment, leading to better functional prognosis and improved survival opportunities.
