| Summary: | 【Abstract】Femoral head fractures without dislocation or subluxation are extremely rare injuries. We report a neglected case of isolated comminuted fracture of femoral
head without hip dislocation or subluxation of one year duration in a 36-year-old patient who sustained a high en-
ergy trauma due to road traffic accident. He presented with painful right hip and inability to bear full weight on right
lower limb with Harris hip score of 39. He received cementless total hip replacement. At latest follow-up of 2.3 years, functional outcome was excellent with Harris hip score of 95. Such isolated injuries have been described only once in the literature and have not been classified till now. The purpose of this report is to highlight the extreme rarity, possible mechanism involved and a novel classification system
to classify such injuries.
