case_images: Plain X-ray revealed posterior dislocation of the hip, and, on CT, not only was a posterior wall bone fragment measuring 24 mm x 10 mm x 3 mm visible, but the posterior margin of the acetabulum had created a depression in the femoral head into which it was impacted (Figure 1).

case_images: He was discharged home on day 26, but 4 days after discharge, when he was climbing down a step with his right leg, his left hip again became dislocated posteriorly in a manner similar to the initial injury, and he was readmitted to hospital (Figure 3).
case_images: Removed femoral head. The depressed fracture in the femoral head is observed.

case_images: Manual reduction was again attempted, but because the hip dislocated easily, total hip arthroplasty was performed (Figures 4 and 5), and the patient's subsequent course has been uneventful even 1 year after the surgery.
