A representative case of the second subtype of iFHNF, namely posterior dislocation and fracture of the femoral head with subsequent femoral neck fracture. A 42-year-old man involved in a severe traffic accident was diagnosed with femoral head fracture and posterior hip dislocation based on X-ray (a) and CT images (b).

Thus, the femoral head and neck were internally fixed (d). Finally, femoral head necrosis was detected (e)
