Abstract
Femoral head fractures are rare traumatic injuries that are usually associated with hip dislocations. Open reduction and internal fixation are performed when indicated, but can be associated with a higher risk of avascular necrosis. We report the case of a 24-year-old patient with a Pipkin type II fracture dislocation of the femoral head fixed via a minimally invasive three-dimensional navigated internal fixation technique. This technique minimizes deep soft tissue dissection to the hip capsule and associated vascularity and allows for accurate implant positioning.Level of evidence: Therapeutic case report Level IV.
