Abstract

Proximal femoral physeal injuries with an associated hip dislocation are uncommon, potentially devastating injuries in the pediatric population. This is frequently the result of high-energy trauma; most commonly reported are motor vehicle collisions. It is important to therefore evaluate the whole patient for multisystem injuries. Due to the physeal injury, there is a significant risk for the development of avascular necrosis. This case highlights management of a proximal femoral physeal fracture/dislocation in a 12-year-old male involved in a motocross accident with special attention placed on surgical approach and avoidance of complications.
