(a, b) Pipkin type III femoral head fracture and dislocation and femoral neck fracture (white arrow) in the left hip joint owing to an in-car traffic accident (case 9, a 31-year-old man). (c) After performing surgical hip dislocation with trochanteric flip osteotomy, the femoral head was exposed and fixed with cortical screws. (d) Femoral neck fracture was fixed using three cannulated screws. (e, f) Bone union was achieved 4 months after surgery, and (g, h) blood supply to the femoral head was found to be well maintained on single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography. The patient fully recovered range of motion
