Ipsilateral fracture of the shaft of femur and dislocation of the hip are very rare injuries. There always exists a dilemma regarding the treatment to reduce hip and choosing the appropriate method of xation for a femur fracture, and a clear consensus is yet to be reached. A number of treatment methods such as the open reduction of femur and xation followed by hip reduction have been tried so far. Ipsilateral fractures and dislocation occur due to high-energy trauma, and reduction of hip dislocation is considered as an orthopedic emergency. Here, we report a case in which we tried a novel approach by temporarily xing the femur with an external xator and reducing the hip dislocation. In the next sitting, we performed femur xation in a closed manner with an interlocking intramedullary nail. We recommend that this novel method of treatment can be used for such types of injuries.
