Abstract:
Combined fractures of the femoral head and acetabulum due to hip gunshot injuries (GSI) are rare, and there is no preferred treatment option. We present a 35-year-old male patient who sustained a right hip GSI. Delayed THA with a two-step sequential approach is a feasible management in this situation to manage soft tissue and decrease infection rate. At a 1-year follow-up visit, the pain was relieved, and the function improved significantly, and he had no complaints.
