Challenges in treating combined posterior hip dislocation and ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture: a case report.
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The concomitant occurrence of posterior hip dislocation with an ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture is an exceptionally rare and complex orthopedic injury that poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This report presents two cases of this unusual injury pattern, each resulting from high-energy motor vehicle accidents. Patients presented with acute pain and functional impairment of the affected lower limb. Radiographic evaluation confirmed posterior dislocation of the hip associated with an ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture. Prompt open reduction was necessitated to prevent iatrogenic complications and minimize the risk of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Definitive fixation of the intertrochanteric fracture was achieved using a Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) or Dynamic Condylar Screw (DCS), selected based on fracture morphology. Postoperative management focused on staged rehabilitation to optimize recovery. Both patients achieved satisfactory functional outcomes, with Harris Hip Scores of 78 and 82 at one-year follow-up, respectively. The aim of this case report is to present and analyze two rare cases of combined posterior hip dislocation with ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture, highlighting the diagnostic complexities, surgical challenges and considerations for achieving favorable functional outcomes in the absence of standardized treatment protocols.
