Anterior Hip Dislocation with Cranial Femoral Head Osteochondral Lesion and Isolated Quadrilateral Plate Fracture: A Case Report.

CASE: A 28-year-old man involved in a traffic accident presented with anterior hip dislocation associated with an acetabular fracture. Initially, closed reduction of the coxofemoral dislocation was performed under general anesthesia. Subsequently, reduction and internal fixation of the quadrilateral plate were achieved using the Stoppa intrapelvic approach with the use of lateral window of the ilioinguinal approach.

CONCLUSION

Only a few cases of obturator-type hip dislocations, femoral head osteochondral lesion, and associated isolated fractures of the quadrilateral plate have been reported in the literature. Our report highlights the rarity of this condition and the indications for surgical intervention.
