AbstractHip dislocations and particularly fractures of the femoral head are very rare injuries. Various therapy options are described. So far there has been consensus about the severity of the trauma which has causes this type of injury. This case study presents a type II Pipkin fracture. This specific "accident" was due to low impact trauma, which was previously considered to be insufficient to cause this type of injury. We report on the diagnostic and therapeutic measures and compare this procedure with information from the literature.
