Femoral Head
- Results from high-energy trauma (e.g. dashboard to flexed knee)
- Usually occurs along with dislocation:
- Posterior dislocation
- Fx of inf aspect of femoral head; concomitant sciatic nerve injury
- Anterior dislocation
- Fx of anterior femoral head; concomitant vascular injury
- Posterior dislocation
- Management
- Immediate ortho consult; emergent closed reduction of dislocation
