[Luxation fracture of the hip joint. I. Posterior fractures with dislocation]

41 cases of posterior sprain fracture are analysed by the authors. 4--10 years after the injury 31 patients appeared at the check-inspection. On the basis of the late results it is stated by the authors that the immediate diagnosis and the reposition of the luxation are of the greatest importance. Conservative treatment yields generally satisfactory results. In the authors' opinion, osteosynthesis is indicated but in fractures concomitant with the fracture and dislocation of great piece of the acetabulum and in juvenile patients.
