1. A brief summary is given of the literature on patients with a dislocated hip and a fractured femur on the same side. 2. One further patient is reported, treated by closed reduction of the hip and the fracture. 3. A warning is given on the frequency with which the dislocation is not diagnosed in this double injury.
