Is fixation an option for comminuted femoral head fracture?

ABSTRACT

Femoral head fracture (Pepkin fracture) is a serious injury that is usually caused by trauma with more incidences in young age. There is no definitive treatment suggested in literature for Pepkin fracture. In this work, a case with class IV Pipkin fracture is presented. Fixation of the fracture was done and the outcomes of the surgical procedure immediately and 6 years after surgery are documented.
