Abstract
Residual soft-tissue attachments may provide a blood supply to femoral head fragments after fractures associated with traumatic dislocation of the hip. Screw fixation of these fractures without sacrifice of the attachments can prove to be difficult. A case is presented using a method of fixation--not, to my knowledge, previously reported--that preserves these attachments and facilitates subsequent removal of metalware.
