| Sumario: | Case:Fractures of the femoral head are infrequent injuries with potentially devastating complications. Pipkin type II fractures often require surgical fixation. It involves intraarticular approaches that may increase the inherent morbidity of these fractures. Hip arthroscopy minimizes surgical aggression and allows for direct control of fracture reduction. We present a case report of an arthroscopic-assisted percutaneous fixation of a Pipkin-II femoral head fracture. A hip arthroscopy without traction and percutaneous screw fixation was conducted under arthroscopic and fluoroscopic guidance.Conclusion:Arthroscopic-assisted percutaneous fixation is a useful technique for optimal femoral head fracture treatment and may also minimize surgical morbidity and optimize early recovery. |
