A 16-yeаr-оld femаle wаs hit by a car while crоssing a twо-lane highway. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance. She was found to have an open wound of the left lower thigh, just above the knee and a displaced fracture of the left femoral neck. She was taken to the operating room within four hours of her injury. She was given general endotracheal anesthesia and was prepped and draped in sterile fashion. Debridement including excision of devitalized skin and muscle was performed on the lateral thigh. The area was approximately 15 sq cm. After debridement and thorough copious irrigation, the wound was closed with layer sutures and a dressing was applied and then covered with adhesive plastic. The patient was then prepped and draped for the fracture and turned on her right side. We all rescrubbed. An 8 inch incision was made over the left hip and the head of the femur was exposed. Multiple fragments from the neck and the greater tuberosity were removed. The decision was made to replace the femoral head. The femur was removed from the acetabulum and the femoral head was removed. The femoral canal was reamed and a prosthesis was placed. It was then replaced in the acetabulum with a good fit, and the capsule was closed. The wound was closed. The patient was sent to recovery in good condition.
