“…The 14 cases previously described in the literature were followed up for on average of 15 months (range 1-58 month). Interestingly, most patients did well with only one report of avascular necrosis (AVN) [ 5 ]. The patient whose fixation failed as the extent of fracture was not recognised intraoperatively refused further surgery [ 11 ].…”

Concomitant ipsilateral intracapsular and extracapsular fractures of the femoral neck are rare injuries with only 14 cases described in the literature as single case reports. We present three cases that were successfully and uniquely treated by uncemented hip arthroplasties. Two patients underwent complex primary uncemented total hip replacements, and one patient underwent an uncemented bipolar fluted stem hemiarthroplasty. The level of bearing constraint varied between implants. After describing our cases we review the literature and make recommendations on the management of these injuries. We believe that these are significant injuries and best functional results can be achieved with an early diagnosis and patient-specific approach that can include a total hip replacement in appropriate cases.

“…There are 13 reports in the medical literature of ipsilateral fractures of the femoral neck and trochanteric region [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] . Of these, nine cases are reported in elderly osteoporotic patients following low energy fall [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [9] , [11] . One case was of a 54-year-old person caught in olive press [8] and the others were of patients with a motor vehicle accident [10] , [12] , [13] .…”

To our knowledge, the type of combination of ipsilateral femoral neck and sub-trochanteric fracture is rare. And the long term follow-up is seldom been reported. A 60 year old woman suffered from a traffic accident. We gave her the intramedullary nail treatment for the combination of ipsilateral femoral neck and sub-trochanteric fracture, and the fracture indeed cured after one year and there is no clue of necrosis of the femoral head, but after 5 years, there is an evidence of necrosis of the femoral head. Combination of ipsilateral femoral neck and sub-trochanteric fracture should be kept in mind. Patients with this unusual fracture should be kept under surveillance for longer than might be thought currently to be necessary for there is a possibility of necrosis of the femoral head, even a nondisplaced femoral neck fracture.

“…Two of the cases reported in the literature were apparent on presentation on plain radiographs [ 1 , 2 ], two were suspected on initial radiographs and confirmed with further imaging pre-operatively [ 3 , 4 ] and two were identified at the point of surgical intervention by fluoroscopic examination [ 5 , 6 ].…”
